promotes housing stability by paying rent for homeless individuals and families. Each recipient
is expected to have a case manager to assist him/her with life skills such as healthy living,
financial literacy and employment. This is a five year grant, renewable each year. These funds
were granted through the 2012 Maine Continuum of Care planning and selective competition

using the criteria of housing stability and compliance with HUD requirements.
