SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

The grant was awarded to expand current activities and introduce innovative strategies such as treatment, integrated care management, wraparound support, housing access, and infrastructure improvements. By strengthening our county-wide community supports for homeless families and individuals, more will access and maintain stable housing. The contract term will be five years (FFY 2017-22) with funds of $400,000 per year.
