qualified individuals and families to live in any community in Penobscot County. Shelter Plus
Care promotes housing stability by paying rent for homeless individuals and families. Each
recipient is strongly encouraged and 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 2013 Maine Continuum of Care
planning and selective competition process. This was reviewed and recommended by
Government Operations at the December 15, 2014 meeting.
