基金将支持Preble Street在缅因州的基于现泊房的先住房(SBHF)项目的扩展。
PORTLAND, ME / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2024 / Preble Street, which has offices in Bangor, Lewiston, and Portland, ME. has received a three-year, $300,000 grant commitment from KeyBank Foundation to support Preble Street's Site-Based Housing First (SBHF) programs. The funds will help them support the State of Maine's plan to functionally end chronic homelessness for our community's most vulnerable members through the creation of 400 new Housing First units across the state. Specifically, KeyBank's donation will help enable two Preble Street initiatives designed to help Maine meet this ambitious goal: (1) the development of a comprehensive, intensive Site-Based Housing First (SBHF) Training and Technical Assistance program for developers and service providers statewide; and (2) the expansion of the organization's successful, 24-hour social work support services model to a new SBHF program in Portland to serve an additional 30 people experiencing chronic homelessness.
缅因州波特兰市/ ACCESSWIRE/ 2024年8月20日/ Preble Street在缅因州班戈市，卢伊斯顿市和波特兰市设有办事处。KeyBank Foundation 承诺资助Preble Street的基于现泊房的先住房(SBHF)项目三年，共30万美元。这些资金将帮助他们通过在全州范围内创建400个新的Housing First单元来支持缅因州实现最脆弱人群慢性无家可归的终极目标，并为此提供帮助。具体而言，KeyBank的捐赠将帮助两个Preble Street的计划，旨在帮助缅因州达成这个宏伟目标：(1)开发全面的、密集的基于现泊房的先住房(SBHF)培训和技术援助计划，面向全州的开发人员和服务提供商；(2)将组织的成功的24小时社会工作支援服务模式扩展到位于波特兰的一个新的基于现泊房的先住房(SBHF)项目，以服务另外30名慢性无家可归者。
"With this commitment, the KeyBank Foundation shows its support for a simple concept - everyone deserves housing and the support necessary to maintain it," said Preble Street Executive Director Mark Swann. "With the current unsheltered homelessness crisis facing our state and more than 140 people already on the waiting list for existing Site-based Housing First apartments, this funding will allow us to help many other individuals find safety and a place to call home. On behalf of all of us here at Preble Street, we thank the KeyBank Foundation for stepping up to be part of the solution to ending chronic homelessness in Maine."
"KeyBank Foundation以这个承诺表明其支持一个简单的概念 - 每个人都应该拥有住房和保持住房的必要支援。"Preble Street执行主任Mark Swann表示:"由于我们州面临着当前流浪无家可归者危机，已有140多人在现有的基于现泊房的先住房公寓等待中，这笔资金将使我们有能力帮助其他许多人找到安全和称呼家的地方。我们在Preble Street的所有人员会代表，感谢KeyBank Foundation为终止缅因州慢性无家可归提供解决方案走向解决方案。"
Preble Street's mission is to provide accessible, barrier-free services to empower people experiencing problems with homelessness, housing, hunger and poverty, and to advocate for solutions to these problems. Founded in 1975, Preble Street responds to urgent social problems through emergency services, long-term solutions, and advocacy that seeks to end homelessness and hunger in Maine. It is the state's largest nonprofit provider of homeless services to youth and adults and is a leader in statewide planning for both populations.
Preble Street的使命是提供可访问、无障碍的服务，赋予那些遭遇无家可归、居住、饥饿和贫困问题的人权利，倡导解决这些问题的方案。Preble Street成立于1975年，通过紧急服务、长期解决方案和倡导，回应紧急的社会问题，旨在终止缅因州的无家可归和饥饿问题，是该州最大的青少年和成人无家可归服务的非营利机构，并在全州规划方面处于领先地位。
Preble Street currently operates three SBHF programs in Portland: Logan Place, Florence House, and Huston Commons. Combined, these programs provide permanent, supportive, affordable housing to 85 people with complex needs who have experienced chronic homelessness. With the recent passage of the State of Maine's LD 2: An Act to End Chronic Homeless by Creating the Housing First Fund, Preble Street is uniquely positioned to lead the implementation of this plan by replicating and scaling its successful model across the state, providing proven and cost-effective solutions that can functionally end chronic homelessness for so many in Maine.
Preble Street目前在波特兰市运营三个基于现泊房的先住房(SBHF)项目：Logan Place、Florence House和Huston Commons。这些项目共向有复杂需求的85名慢性无家可归者提供永久、支持、经济的住房。随着缅因州修订《LD 2：通过创建住房基金来终结慢性无家可归者行动》的最近通过，Preble Street处于独特的地位，通过在全州范围内复制和扩展其成功模式，领导这个计划的实施，为缅因州提供经过验证的，具有成本效益的解决方案，可为许多人终止慢性无家可归者。
"KeyBank believes that everyone in our community should have safe, affordable housing and we are committed to providing access to capital and support to neighborhoods and neighbors who have often faced financial barriers," said KeyBank's Maine Market President, Tony DiSotto. "We have been long time supporters of Preble Street and their innovative solutions to tackle chronic homelessness and are pleased to support the expansion of their successful Site-Based Housing First model to help more individuals to achieve stable, permanent homes."
"KeyBank认为，我们社群中的每个人都应该拥有安全和可负担的住房，我们致力于为那些经常面临财务障碍的社区和邻居提供资本和支援。"KeyBank缅因市场总裁Tony DiSotto说:"我们长期以来一直支持Preble Street及其创新解决慢性无家可归的方案，并乐意支持扩大他们成功的基于现泊房的先住房模式，帮助更多的人实现稳定、永久的住房。"
KeyBank Foundation grants are part of a $40 billion commitment for lending and investments across Key's national footprint established in 2017 and supporting affordable housing and community development projects, home, and small business lending in low- and-moderate income communities, and philanthropic efforts targeted toward education, workforce development, and safe, vital neighborhoods.
