Urban Restoration Enhancement Corporation (UREC) manages a newly renovated
property of Urban Meadows, in a multi-family community setting. The principal
aim of the proposed “Home Sharing and Adopt-A-Family” Program is to eliminate
some of the existing barriers to safe, decent affordable housing for adult women
and families with children in transition from the temporary facilities. It
serves low to moderate-income (single and two-parent) families with children
through funding from the Emergency Shelter Grants Program. The homes are
handicap accessible, within city transportation routes and sited in an inner
city location. Other services provided by this program include life skills,
education, budgeting and employment assistance, which is structured to stimulate
their potentials of living independently. ESGP funds are used to cover per
participant homeless prevention costs as well as costs for essential services
and related operations.
