A Pennsylvania county where the median sales price for a house is $450,000 and the median rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,886 per month has been awarded $800,000 in state funds to fight homelessness.
Your Way Home Montgomery County was awarded the six-figure grant from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency's Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement Fund to create more affordable housing opportunities and prevent homelessness, NBC Philadelphia reports.
"These funds will help us expand our rapid rehousing and landlord engagement and support programs, which are crucial to quickly housing individuals and families experiencing homelessness in our community," Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services Office of Housing and Community Development Administrator Kayleigh Silver said in a statement.
More than 1,000 single adult county residents experienced homelessness last year, according to figures from the Philadelphia-based Resources for Human Development.
Another 435 people were found sleeping outside or in temporary shelters on a night in January, according to a Montgomery County spokesperson.
Montgomery County officials launched a new website this week aimed at offering affordable housing data and resources for stakeholders as the county grapples with its affordable housing and homelessness crises.
As of April 2024, the median sales price for a house in Montgomery County was $450,000 and $1,886 per month to rent a two-bedroom apartment, according to a county spokesperson.
