Committee backs $1.2M DOJ grant application for transitional housing and wraparound services
Summary
Behavioral Services staff asked the committee to approve submitting and accepting, if awarded, a $1,200,000 DOJ Office of Victims of Crime grant to provide two transitional housing units and wraparound services in partnership with Eastern Carolina Housing Organization (ETCO) and Engaging Minds; the committee approved the application by voice vote.
Behavioral Services staff presented a resolution to apply for and accept, if awarded, funding from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Victims of Crime to support transitional housing for victims.
"This grant application from the Department of Behavioral Services is for 1,200,000," staff speaker Tranter said, describing the Horry County Housing Stabilization Program as a structured transitional and short-term housing program that would provide short-term housing assistance, victim-specific screening, voluntary housing stabilization planning and strengthened referral pathways. Tranter said the project is designed as a partnership among the county, ETCO (Eastern Carolina Housing Organization) and Engaging Minds, which would provide wraparound services.
When asked for an example of an eligible person, Tranter said the program would serve people who have been victims of crime and who need housing (for example, where a perpetrator had been providing housing). The committee voted to approve the resolution by voice vote with 'aye' recorded.
