Star-Ledger highlights plan!
On Sunday August 3, 2008, The Star-Ledger published an article by Diane C. Walsh entitled “Agency to combat homeless problem: Nonprofit requests $50K from county“. This is an issue we posted about on July 29th. To review that link click here. To view the Power Point used at the Freeholder meeting click here.
The article noted that “the chairs of a blue-ribbon committee that has been developing strategies to eliminate homelessness asked the freeholders for $50,000 in seed money to help establish Coming Home of Middlesex County Inc. The nonprofit would also rely on support from foundations and the private sector.”
Ms. Walsh also noted that “to create new housing and encourage landlords to refurbish existing units, the new nonprofit must amass as many resources as possible, the committee members said. Mulcahy asked the freehold ers to consider setting aside $1 million in the capital budget to help build affordable housing.”
