Asheville and Buncombe County are getting a significant boost in their efforts to prevent homelessness.
The region has been selected as one of 10 pilot communities for a national initiative called Right at Home.
The Asheville-Buncombe Continuum of Care, a community planning body that works to build a collaborative response to homelessness, will receive a minimum of $5 million to manage the program.
The initiative will last three years and serve at least 1,000 local households at risk of homelessness, according to Ben Williamson, the chair of the Continuum of Care’s Homelessness Prevention Work Group.
