Date: December 22, 2014
Item/Subject: Resolve, Authorizing the City Manager to Accept and Appropriate $32,770 in
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) for the period 12/31/2014 to 12/30/2015.
Responsible Department: Health and Community Services
Commentary: This resolve will authorize the City Manager to accept and appropriate a one
year grant from HUD in the amount of $32,770 to continue to provide Shelter Plus Care Rental
Assistance for three families to live in apartments owned by Penquis Housing. Shelter Plus Care
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 2013 Maine Continuum of Care planning and selective competition
process. It should be noted that this project received the highest score in the State of Maine
using the criteria of housing stability and compliance with HUD requirements. This was
reviewed and recommended for approval by Government Operations at the Dec. 15, 2014
meeting.
