BY OFFERING CLEAN, SAFE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING CHOICES TO CLIENTS, BOLM CAN FURTHER FACILITATE THEIR TRANSITIONS FROM HOMELESSNESS TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND BREAK WHAT IS OFTEN A CYCLE IN LIFE OF BOTH POVERTY AND INTERMITTENT HOMELESSNESS. BOLM HAS 83 UNITS OF HOUSING IN THE AUGUSTA AREA. MANY OF THESE UNITS ARE SUBSIDIZED AND CARRY VOUCHER WITH THEM, WHICH REDUCES THE COST OF RENT FOR A FAMILY OR SINGLE PAYING FOR THAT APARTMENT.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2023 – Dec 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$463KHomeless Shelter Services
