Guilford County homeless providers receive $1.4 million

Posted on January 19, 2011 by Michele (CM)| 2 Comments

HUD recently awarded renewal funds for existing homeless programs as part of the Fiscal Year 2010 Continuum of Care Grants. Homeless service providers in Guilford County received a total of $1,449,318 — a modest increase of $8,244 overall from 2009. Most homeless service providers received the same funding as last year.

Little bugs cause big problems for Greensboro homeless shelter

Posted on November 24, 2010 by Michele (CM)| Leave a comment

An outbreak of bed bugs at The Salvation Army of Greensboro’s Center of Hope has closed down three dorms — a total of 16 beds — and the Center needs to raise $22,000 to purchase 76 new mattresses to replace both infested mattresses and those that are old, worn and torn, with holes that bed bugs can get into.

Thankfully, the closing of the dorms didn’t displace any families, but it does mean that for now, that’s three families or 16 individuals Greensboro’s Center of Hope won’t be able to house, and in a city with many more homeless people than homeless shelter beds, that’s not good news.

According to Center of Hope Executive Director Jackie Lucas (via email), no new families or individuals can move into the Center of Hope until the new mattresses are purchased. You can help. Please send a monetary donation to:

Jackie Lucas, Executive Director
The Salvation Army Center of Hope
1311 South Eugene Street
Greensboro, NC 27406

Thank you!
