From YachatsNews:
After extensive behind-the-scenes planning, money is now ready to roll out to help Lincoln County homeless youth and their families find suitable shelter.
Nearly $1 million in state and federal funds will ultimately flow to 10 so-called “sub-grantees” under a program overseen by the Housing Authority of Lincoln County.
In addition to the school district, the subgrantees are:
- $75,000 to the Community Services Consortium to provide outreach to homeless or at-risk homeless youth and their families;
- $21,250 to the county’s Health and Human Services department to add flexible funding dedicated to youth and families;
- $103,233 to Northwest Coastal Housing to block six rooms for 18 months for referred homeless families with children;
- $105,873 to Reconnections Counseling to add two family rooms to Nate’s Place, a transitional shelter in Newport;
- $74,300 to Safe Families for Children for host home and mentorship programs;
- $100,000 to Samaritan House Family Shelter to block two rooms for eligible families in its transitional housing program;
- $50,000 to St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Waldport and $30,000 to St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Newport to provide direct financial assistance for rent deposits and eviction prevention; and
- $151,100 to Youth Tides to provide services including housing assistance and operational support.
