Powerful Solutions
 

Allocations exceed $2.8M
 
Development and Deployment of Strategic Support

This is the time of year the Polk County Housing Trust Fund plans for and allocates its financial resources for the next twelve months. This funding round drew on the expertise and opinions of over 60 individuals who attended key planning meetings through the month of May. Our collective focus was to consider requests for financial support from seven program providers, approve an agency administrative budget and allocate tax dollars among six categories of projects that expand or preserve affordable housing inventory in Polk County. During the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2012 the PCHTF will fund $2.8 million of projects and programs that advance the Trust Fund's vision of providing safe, stable and affordable permanent housing for Polk County residents.  Thank you for taking the time to learn more about and support our plans for collective impact.

I've always believed experiences shape our views and choices. The speech therapist who stuttered as a child, the teacher whose parents worked the fields and didn't go to school, the young couple who couldn't afford the down payment on a house and the wife who now works to help others. The year was 1970 and that was my husband and me.
