Lee County issued the following announcement on Sept. 21.
The Lee Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday voted to allocate an additional $208,671 in Emergency Solutions Grant CARES Act funds to help rapidly rehouse about 30
households experiencing homelessness. The allocation is part of the Board’s continuing commitment to assist those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 530
individuals have been rehoused using pandemic funding from various sources. Lee County Human & Veterans Services serves as a collaborative hub for resources ‒ federal,
state, local, private and non-profit ‒ designated to aid Lee County residents through supportive programs and services. The Board accepted Emergency Solutions Grants from the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in June and December 2020. Tuesday’s action allocated funds from administration and outreach to rapid rehousing. For more
