Two Allen County non-profits will continue to receive funding from the state to address homelessness.
Lima Samaritan House and the West Ohio Community Action Partnership will be receiving funding from the Homeless Crisis Response Program.
Lima Samaritan House will receive $342,200 and the West Ohio Community Action Partnership will receive $570,100.
"We are trying to prevent families from becoming homeless with our funding, and especially during pandemic times," said Jackie Fox, CEO of the West Ohio Community Action Partnership. "But we are also trying to help those that are becoming homeless are re-housed right away."
"Just different equipment that we needed, and purification, we have been able to replace almost every window in the building with those funds, still limited what we can use it for, but a blessing for sure," said Brandi Schroeder, Executive Director at the Lima Samaritan House. "And that would not have been made available to use have we not been receiving AHCRP funding already."
