In 2024, 84 households participated in FSP, with 29 successfully purchasing their desired asset.Throughout the program, FSP staff provide individualized support through regular progress updates, resource referrals, and goal-oriented financial guidance.

Aligned with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Developments (HUD) best practices, the THRC manages the countys by-name list in coordination with the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Data Lead and facilitates a coordinated, community-wide effort to prioritize and house individuals. This is accomplished through the facilitation of biweekly case conferencing meetings with cross-system providers. In 2024, 489 households were case conferenced. 16849 Transportation Program: Open Hearth supports transportation access through two primary strategies. Under the Family Savings Partner Program, participants may apply their matched savings toward the purchase of a reliable vehicle.
