Homeless Services
Homeless Shelter
The HIT Foundation began offering Homeless Services for Preble County residents in March, 2015. The Shelter serves as a temporary housing facility for homeless clients in Preble County.
Clients meet regularly with shelter staff and a case manager to work toward their housing needs. They are expected to meet weekly goals focusing on housing, in order to obtain housing with 30-45 days. Clients are also expected to follow a daily schedule and must agree to adhere to shelter rules.
To contact the homeless shelter, call (937) 472-0500 ext. 422
Homeless Crisis Response Program (HCRP)
The Homeless Crisis Response Program (HCRP) is designed to prevent individuals and families from entering homelessness and, when homelessness does occur, to rapidly move persons from emergency shelter into permanent housing. HCRP serves individuals and families who may remain homeless without resources and support. Financial assistance is provided to help households obtain and manage affordable housing and to increase self sufficiency.
For more information on this program, contact HCRP Case Manager Tequila Mouser at (937) 472-0500 ext. 425 or tequila@hitfoundation.org.
