"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower

HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION AND RAPID RE-HOUSING

HPRP

The Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) operates through the Community Resource Center of Johnson County and is funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Program overview:  The focus of this program is to assist low-income families or individuals who are at risk of becoming homeless. The emphasis is on identifying the most pressing needs and using HPRP funds or other resources in the community to meet those needs.  People who qualify for HPRP will work with the case manger to develop a plan to identify circumstances and/or behaviors that may be contributing to their current financial crisis.  The program is designed to quickly stabilize households and is not meant to offer long term assistance.

The goal of HPRP is achieve housing stability.  The case manager's goal is to work with families or individuals to develop a support system that will encourage financial self-sufficiency.
