Boone County Commissioner Janet Thompson said funding housing projects has been intentional in both rounds of ARPA funding to try to figure out how to get people into both affordable and long-term housing.
"The stress that's involved with somebody who is unsheltered or is housing insecure creates a ripple effect throughout our community," Thompson said. "So, we really have to find housing along the whole spectrum of housing for folks so that they can move up and gain that security and then thrive."
