The Maine State Housing Authority has awarded a total of more than $2 million to seven school districts in an effort to reduce and prevent student homelessness. These seven one-year awards are intended to help school districts “hire or retain homelessness prevention and housing navigation specialists,” as well as provide “housing stability services” and offer “flexible direct financial assistance.” “MaineHousing is pleased to support these dedicated and innovative school districts in their work to prevent and reduce student homelessness in Maine,” said MaineHousing Director Daniel Brennan. School districts serving South Portland, Bath, Biddeford, Ellsworth, and Lewiston also received funding through the program. Click Here to Read the Maine State Housing Authority’s Full Press Release
