How can nonprofits who administer to the homeless access the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program funds?
• A: Mississippi is in the process of reviewing the federal regulations and assessing how to determine the administration of the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program funds. MDA has had discussions with various homeless shelters, including the Continuums of Care in Mississippi, which represent 30 of the state’s homeless shelters. If you would like to share comments or suggestions on this program, MDA will host a public hearing at 10 a.m. April 24, 2009 on the first floor of the Woolfolk building. Information on the program will be posted to our website as direction is defined.
