Creston town council is backing a proposed rental assistance program aimed at helping unhoused residents secure stable housing through community support and donations. The proposal is scheduled to be presented to the Creston Ministerial Association on Jan. 20. Donations would be funnelled through the Creston Ministerial Association, which would be asked to match each community pledge using existing ministerial funds, some of which have been provided by council. Because the ministerial association is a registered charity, it is able to administer funds to support the service. If approved by the ministerial association, McLean said the initiative could launch as early as February.
