Lexington to start housing program for homeless
Officials in Lexington are preparing to start a housing program for homeless people living in the city.
The Lexington Herald-Leader reports the city has already approved a contract for the Hope Center to provide housing and support services to 20 people through its Housing First program. Hope Center Director of Programs David Shadd says interviews are ongoing for two case managers for the project.
Meanwhile, city officials are also considering a contract with the University of Kentucky, which would determine the success and cost-effectiveness of the pilot program.
Officials are aiming to have some people in homes by early next year.
