OUR CORE VALUES
DID YOU KNOW
The homeless shelters are full to capacity. If a permanent solution is not in place families will continue to stay there with no hope of moving out or finding something affordable.
Per Hud directives family shelters must move families out of the shelters and into housing rapidly to have room/space for another individual to move into the shelter.
Families receive rapid-rehousing vouchers that pays 3-6 months rent. There are not enough property owners that will accept these vouchers.
These shelters will continue to stay full if the population are not able to use their rapid re-housing vouchers.
There are 950 documented individuals in Cleveland with housing vouchers that cannot find a place to live.
In Ohio foster youth age out of foster care every year and an average of 1 out of every 4 youth in foster care will experience housing insecurities within 4 years of being emancipated.
TRUE WEST HOMES will address the growing need of affordable housing by accepting rapid re-housing vouchers to eliminate the overcrowding of homeless shelters long waiting period and move individuals out of the shelters into permanent housing. We will also address the growing need of permanent housing for youth that have been emancipated from foster care and struggle to find affordable housing. With our focus being on housing stability our designated support system will combat individuals returning to a homeless situation.
