Homelessness Prevention Grant
The Monroe County Housing Authority in Pennsylvania will be providing financial assistance to help households on the verge of homelessness remain in their homes pending financial improvement.
The homeless-prevention grant, funded through the federal economic stimulus package, can be used for temporary subsidy payments of rent, back utility bills or rent security deposits. Funds will be used to help those who have fallen on temporary hard times because of a job layoff or unexpected medical bill.
The program is likely to provide just partial funding. The housing authority will work with the family, while negotiating payment terms with landlords or utilities.
The program should begin in early January. Applications are available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the housing authority office, 1055 West Main St., Stroudsburg, across from Stroudsburg High School.
