Non-profit to spend nearly $1M in federal grant money to help El Paso’s homeless

El Paso, Texas-- The Opportunity Center for the Homeless is working to find forever homes for those experiencing homelessness.

The non-profit organization has just received nearly a million dollars through the federal CARES Act to help sponsor its Rapid Re-Housing Program.

The grant money will go towards getting people out of homelessness.

Homeless individuals who qualify will receive up to six months of rental assistance up until Dec. 20 of this year.

Those selected for the program will work hand in hand with a caseworker to help them become self-sufficient as they pursue personal goals.

Rental property owners who would like to participate as collaborative housing partners may call 915-212-2250 or email: rrh@ocelpaso.org.
