These programs are a vital part of the support network for the homeless in the Dayton area. Under the project, case managers work with participants to eliminate their need for homeless shelters.
Homelessness is a real problem in Dayton.
We do have local organizations which can help, but they need funds to be effective. The purpose of the grants is to help communities plan for emergency, transitional, and permanent housing and resources to help homeless people get jobs and live independently. However, Dayton's proposal was not funded. When Dayton's application was turned down, Hall asked HUD officials to reconsider. Subsequently, HUD adopted a new policy to allow for the renewal of funding for some existing programs.
