The Friendship Mission Inc. shelter in Montgomery was among other recipients of a grant from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) to assist with the needs of the homeless.
A statement from ADECA said that funds were allocated from the Emergency Solutions Grant program to provide services.
“People become homeless for a number of reasons and often it is because of circumstances beyond their control,” said Gov. Kay Ivey. “Emergency Solutions Grants serve as a lifeline for those who are victims of violence or face situations where they lose their homes.”
ADECA granted a total of $2.7 million. Friendship Mission received $210,356.
“ADECA is pleased to join with Gov. Ivey and local governments and agencies in providing a helping hand to ensure Alabamians have a roof over their heads,” ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell said.
