County Included In State Grant

Montgomery County will share in a $3 million grant given to a Lafayette organization.

Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Housing and Community development Authority awarded about $1.2 million to Lafayette Transitional Housing Rapid Rehousing to serve up to 40 one-, two- and three-bedroom households. It will also utilize a partnership with InWell and Phoenix Paramedics to expand healthcare resources available to clients in the program.

“These funds will help local partners serve those in their communities who are experiencing homelessness,” said Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “These projects signify a collaborative step towards our long-term goal to end homelessness in the state of Indiana.”

In addition to Montgomery County, the project will serve Benton, Carroll, Clinton, Fountain, Warren and White counties.
