The Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program was created in 1983 to supplement the work of local social service organizations within the United States, both private and governmental, to help people in need of emergency assistance. This collaborative effort between the private and public sectors has provided over $3.4 billion in Federal funds during its 27-year history.
The program provides 90 days of case management and transitional housing coupled with workforce development for single homeless individuals struggling with alcohol and drug abuse to assist individuals in obtaining/maintaining stable housing and economic self sufficiency. The program anticipates serving 160 individuals.
