Current Events:

Through its collaborative efforts, both regionally and within the state, the Coalition provides leadership in creating innovative programs to address housing issues and leadership in developing needed resources to establish and maintain these programs.

• Regional Supportive Housing Grants funded through Kentucky Housing Corporation and coordinated through the Northern Kentucky Area Development District.
• Covington Supportive Housing Grant funded through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
• Homeless Services Project providing funding for services to the homeless population by multiple member agencies.
• Grant and loan applications for housing development projects, supportive services, and related needs.
• 10 year plan to end Chronic Homelessness

Longer-term, the Coalition is currently laying the groundwork for bringing to the region the innovative concept of “Cohousing” which “combines the autonomy of private dwellings with the advantages of community living”…
