Great News for the Housing Trust Fund!

The Senate put $500,000 back into the budget for the Homeless Housing Trust Fund for Housing Support Specialists

The Housing Support Specialists (HSS) program will serve 1,200 persons with 70 outreach specialists statewide and will give homeless persons with mental illness, developmental disabilities, and other conditions and disabilities, opportunities to end their homelessness.

Please help us by thanking key Senate members for supporting this very important program.

Send an email thanking to key Senate members now

NEXT STEPS
We must ask the House to please SUPPORT the annual appropriation recommended by the Senate for $500,000 in the Department of Community Affairs' FY 09 budget. This amount is part of a 50% match requirement, creating a total $1 million program budget.
