Eligible persons are homeless who live on the street, in an emergency shelter, in places not meant for human habitation, being evicted within a week, being discharged within a week from an institution in which the person has been a resident for more than 30 days, or fleeing a domestic violence situation.  The Supportive Housing Program provides temporary housing/in-depth case management and supportive services to homeless persons or families while working with them to obtain permanent housing.  The program also assists families in obtaining other community resources to help the families become self-sufficient.  This program, through a grant by Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC), can serve 40 families per year in our core county area. In addition, Foothills provides supportive housing services to 10 families per year in Franklin County.
