- Act quickly
This is why we have launched our new HOUSE 507 initiative for people who are currently experiencing homelessness. Through this initiative, we will HOUSE 507 homeless individuals and families through collaborative statewide partnerships.
The HOUSE 507 initiative through the use of ESG-CV funds will prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and other infectious diseases among persons or families who are homeless or receiving homeless assistance.
We see this HOUSE 507 as an opportunity to bolster existing housing efforts and to use new funds to . Our goal is simple, GET PEOPLE INTO HOUSING. Housing is healthcare. EMERGING STRONGER!!!
