Tedford Housing outlines expanded shelter, prevention services and county funding share
Summary
Tedford Housing's Director of Development told commissioners that county support helped expand adult shelter beds (16→24) and family units (6→10), and that Lincoln County represents 11% of Tedford's county funding request; the group said it provided rental or security deposit assistance to 13 Lincoln households.
Katrina Webster, Director of Development at Tedford Housing, thanked Lincoln County for FY2026 support and described how that funding strengthened Tedford's regional fundraising and partnerships. She said Tedford's expansion increased adult shelter beds from 16 to 24 and family units from six to ten, enabling the organization to serve 40–50 individuals in family shelter at a time.
Webster explained that Lincoln County constitutes about 11% of Tedford's county funding request (based on population share and service usage) and said county funds have supported rental and security deposit assistance for 13 Lincoln County households; Tedford also provides biweekly housing navigation at the Newcastle food pantry that reached roughly 200 households regionally. She described homelessness prevention as cost-effective and emphasized coordination with municipalities and regional partners.
