State Awards Grant to the City of Annapolis for the Light House Shelter

From the City of Annapolis:

ANNAPOLIS, MD - Annapolis Mayor Michael Pantelides announced that the Light House Shelter (Light House Inc.) will receive a total of $128,371 from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD).

“I am glad to know this money will help the Light House Shelter achieve their mission’s goal of rebuilding lives by providing shelter and services that empower people as they transition toward employment, housing and self-sufficiency," Mayor Pantelides said.

The Department of Planning and Zoning, through a partnership with the Light House Shelter, secured the DHCD grant.

The money is part of a Maryland DHCD Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and will support homeless assistance administered by the Light House Shelter. The ESG was awarded to Annapolis, through a competitive application process, and is one of several Federal funding programs administered by the DHCD through the Division of Neighborhood Revitalization.
