DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On August 20, 2019, the Board approved Marion County’s 2019 - 2023 five-year Consolidated Plan and subsequent Action Plans for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). On March 11, 2021, Congress enacted the American Rescue Plan, providing additional HOME funds (HOME-ARP) to support the acquisition, construction, and renovation of facility projects and affordable housing for qualifying populations.
Wear Gloves, Inc., a nonprofit social services program, has applied to Community Services for HOME-ARP funding to acquire and renovate a building for their Dignity House Shelter Project located at parcel identification number 30918-001-00. This project consists of two phases: Phase 1 involves the acquisition of property, not to exceed $635,000.00, and Phase 2 covers the renovation of the facility, not to exceed $400,000.00. These phases will enable Wear Gloves, Inc. to provide immediate shelter to their clients and facilitate quick transitions into supportive housing through wraparound services.
This project aligns with the objectives outlined during the Community Services workshop on May 29, 2024, and meets the requirements of the HOME-ARP program. Wear Gloves, Inc. will contribute funds totaling $258,750.00.
