The
funds will be used in our Rapid Re-Housing program, a program that is designed
to move people who have fallen into homelessness back into permanent housing as
rapidly as possible.
Jenny
Simmons, Director of Grants Management, says “We are grateful to the Wells
Fargo Foundation for their partnership with Homeward Bound in ending
homelessness. This generous grant will support our Rapid Re-Housing program,
providing housing and supportive services to the majority of the population we
serve for an average of 6 to 8 months, allowing individuals and families to
then sustain in housing on their own.”
In
2015, Homeward Bound moved 352 people out of homelessness in Buncombe and
Henderson Counties. You can learn more at www.homewardboundwnc.org.
