Families facing homelessness will soon have three new emergency shelter units, thanks to action taken by the City Council today. This action demonstrates Raleigh’s commitment to addressing housing and homelessness in the community.
The $196,200 in funding is for PLM Families Together, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families experiencing homelessness. The funding will be used to rehabilitate a property at 1100 Athens Drive. This property holds three housing units to be used for emergency shelter for families facing homelessness. The necessary repairs will provide safe refuge and allow PLM Families Together to continue their mission of supporting these families.
The nonprofit addresses homelessness in various ways. It provides emergency shelter, permanent housing, and offers support services to those experiencing homelessness.
This decision reflects the City's commitment to investing in solutions to homelessness and housing instability, ensuring that families in need have access to safe and stable housing. By partnering with organizations like PLM Families Together, Raleigh aims to create a more inclusive and supportive community for all its residents.
