Resident urges Franklin County to connect with partners on transitional housing plan
Summary
A Chambersburg resident asked the county to help connect stakeholders to develop transitional housing for people facing housing crises; county staff agreed to take the resident's contact information and follow up.
During public comment at the Franklin County Commissioners meeting, a Chambersburg resident described personal experience with housing instability and asked the county for guidance and contacts to develop transitional housing.
The resident said she had previously relied on a network of housing arrangements during a past separation and is seeking to develop a safety-net of transitional housing in Franklin County. She said she planned to explore Section 8 assistance and collaborate with local agencies, and asked the county for guidance on who to contact.
A county staff member (Carrie) responded that staff would collect the resident's information and reach out to connect her with relevant contacts. No formal action or commitment of county funds was made during the public comment.
The resident identified her address as 560 South Seventh Street and said she had consulted the Franklin County Housing Authority and community agencies for preliminary guidance.
