A pilot program is being launched to support homeless children in the Montrose County School District (MCSD.)
MCSD is partnering with Housing Resources of Western Colorado (HRWC) and Hilltop Community Resources to assist with housing insecurity and other needs for five families over two years. Two families will enroll in the first year, and three will in the second.
HRWC will secure safe and affordable housing for the families, according to a news release. Theyâll also provide families with a counselor who will coach families through skills such as budgeting.
Meanwhile, Hilltop will assign case managers to families who will help families improve in areas such as employment, health, parenting and basic needs.
