Crawford County Coalition on Housing Needs, Inc.

Liberty House Transitional Facility: Liberty House was built as six units of family housing to give families with minor children the opportunity to access needed supports, build skills, repair credit, and increase earned income over and up to approximately nine month period in order to secure permanent housing. Tenants come to Liberty House through the HUD coordinated entry program for homeless individuals and families. Most tenants come to Liberty House with little or no income. South Main Place Emergency Shelter: This emergency shelters offers 5 apartment-style units for people experiencing homelessness. Shelter guests are referred by partner agencies and receive case management and access to other supports to help them access permanent housing as quickly as possible. Furniture Closet: Once each week the Furniture Closet location is opened for eligible county residents who have obtained vouchers from the Center for Family Services to pick furniture pieces. Affordable Housing Units: The Coalition operates 12 units of affordable housing, all of which must be occupied by low-income renters. The Coalition is also the general partner in Snodgrass Building Limited Partnership, while PNC and NWSB are the limited partners for this project. Eleven efficiency and single bedroom units were rehabilitated and/or constructed to serve clients of the ARC and CHAPS, as well as income eligible members of the general public.
