Project Description: |

THE STATEWIDE POPULATION OF HOMELESS PERSONS HAS BEEN ESTIMATED AT 52,500 (PER DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ANNUAL REPORT ON HOMELESSNESS, 1999). THE GRANT-IN-AID PROGRAM IS THE ONLY HOMELESS-SPECIFIC FUNDING ALLOCATED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO HOMELESS FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS. THE FUNDING HAS REMAINED FLAT WHILE THE NEED FOR RESOURCES HAS INCREASED. ADDITIONALLY, LOCAL AGENCIES ARE INCREASINGLY BEING ASKED TO PROVIDE MATCH FUNDS TO OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. THE CURRENT FUNDING HAS BARELY MET THE SOCIAL SERVICES NEEDS IN LOCALITIES. AN INCREASE IN THE ALLOCATION WILL ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES SPECIFICALLY TARGETING AND ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF HOMELESS PERSONS (TRANSITIONAL HOUSING WITH TREATMENT SERVICES, BASIC LIVING SKILLS TRAINING, EDUCATIONAL/VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS, ETC.) |
