existing homeless youth outreach program aI Shaw House; a one year renewal of the "Bridge" program
at the Acadia Recovery Community (formerly Hope House); a one year renewal of a full time staff Position
at the Bangor Area Homeless Shelter, a one year renewal of operating costs at OHI's Challla Apts. in
Brewer, and a one year renewal of the computer"Homeless Management Information System" ("MIS)
project. In addition to Nese campetltive renewals, we will also be renewing a portion of our existing
Bangor and Penobscot County Shelter Plus Care Rental Assistance Programs. The Penobscot County
Shelter Plus Care Program is administered by the State of Maine Department of Health & Human SeMces.
All other Supportive Housinq and Shelter Plus Care programs are administered by the Department of
Health & Welfare and the Department of Community & Economic Development. It is expected this years
total request will be for approximately $1.3 million. A more extensive description of the application
projects was provided by T.J. Martial in a memo to the Business and Economic Development Committee
