Introduction and Backqround <br /> The Neighborhood Housing Development Corporation of Decatur, Illinois (NHDC) <br /> presents this five year plan to provide permanent supportive housing for persons in <br /> Decatur and Macon County who are chronically homeless. This plan was developed in <br /> collaboration with the Macon County Homeless Council and the Department of <br /> Economic and Urban Development of the City of Decatur and funded under a grant from <br /> the Corporation for Supportive Housing. NHDC also acknowledges Dove, Inc. and <br /> Heritage Behavioral Health Services, who served as key partners in the completion of <br /> this plan. <br /> Purposes <br /> This project has three primary purposes: <br /> 1. To identify and assess the level of chronic homelessness in Decatur and Macon <br /> County, Illinois. <br /> 2. To create a strategy to end chronic homelessness and develop an action plan to <br /> create permanent support housing for persons who are chronically homeless <br /> over the next three to five years. <br /> 3. To leverage a $500,000 HOME grant from HUD to the City of Decatur to <br /> maximize housing production and attract additional public and private resources. <br />' Context The project is consistent with the national goal of the federal government to <br /> end chronic homelessness within ten years. In pursuit of that goal, a large number of <br /> local and state governments have developed or are developing "Ten-Year Plans to End <br /> Chronic Homelessness" in cooperation with the federal Interagency Council on <br /> PAGE 1 <br />
