Homeless Services
Homeless Shelter
H.I.T Foundation began offering homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services to local residents in March 2015. By October, the Homeless Services Program expanded, allowing Home Is The Foundation to open Preble County's Emergency Homeless Shelter.
The shelter serves as a temporary and safe place to stay and receive support for those individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis in Preble County.
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.
