Green River Ministries receives $160,000 in HEARTH funds Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story including information from the Governor's Communications office. FRANKFORT, Ky. --Recipients of Kentucky's Housing and Emergency Assistance Reaching The Homeless (KY HEARTH) Program grant funds, totaling $11,607,352, included $164,000 for Green River Ministries, Campbellsville, KY, and $60,000 to Appalachian Research and Defense Fund of KY, Inc., which has one of its 10 offices in Columbia, KY. $60,000. Green River Ministries is a non-profit organization located at 55 Clem Haskins BLVD, Campbellsville, KY, whose board includes Chairman Karl Lusk, Vice Chairperson Debra Carter, Treasurer Ronnie Dooley, Secretary Rebecca Nash, Campbellsville Mayor Brenda Allen, Campbellsville University VP John Chowning, Mary Ginter, Debbie Martin, Kaysee murrell, Corrie Shull, and Wanding Washington. Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, along with Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) Chief Executive Officer Richard L. McQuady, made the grants announcements yesterday. This initiative is part of President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 and the federal Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program. Lexington, Louisville and Covington received direct allocations. KHC administers the balance of the state's portion. KY HEARTH helps prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless and helps those who are experiencing homelessness to be quickly re-housed and stabilized. Through the ARRA, 47 projects proposed by nonprofit agencies and local governments across the state are receiving a total of $11,607,352 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. "The Kentucky 2009 Point-In-Time Count of the homeless revealed that almost 7,000 people, outside of the two largest metropolitan areas in the state, were on the verge of homelessness, meaning precariously housed," Governor Beshear said. "These funds will help get these individuals the assistance they need to find a safe and permanent home." Precariously housed includes those who are doubled- or tripled-up with family or friends, living in substandard housing conditions, or expecting eviction within seven days with no community support network to assist them. Eligible individuals and families may receive assistance through a KY HEARTH-funded local service agency. These persons may receive financial assistance in the form of rental assistance, including rental arrears; security deposits; utility payments; utility deposits; moving cost assistance; and motel and hotel vouchers. In addition, supportive services are available to help assisted individuals and families stay housed. Services include case management, credit counseling, identifying appropriate housing and some legal services.
