525 households did not re-enter homelessness

EDEN continues to use the monies in the Homeless/Eviction Prevention Fund to help hard-to-house persons (1) secure housing and (2) once they are housed, help them keep their housing. For 2025, the Fund consists of 3 funding sources: ERA 2, ARPA, Public/Private Donations.

Applications for funding are thoroughly reviewed to ensure that only eligible households receive this assistance.

ERA 2 Funding: Since January 1, 2025, we have processed 622 applications for COVID-related housing assistance. 491 (79%) were approved for payment. Total distributed as of 6/25/2025: $2,170,154.31. Funds become unavailable after June 30th, so we are striving to process the remaining applications so that all awarded funds are spent.
ARPA Funding: We are close to distributing all awarded funds. 59 applications were processed since January 1, 2025. 21 were approved for payment. Total distributed as of 6/25/2025: $18,189.01.
Public/Private Donations: Since January 1, 2025, 96 applications have been processed. 63 were approved for payment. Total distrubted as of 6/25/2025: $98,199.85.

Because of the availability of the Fund, 575 households were able to leave homelessness and secure housing or avoid homelessness altogether because their eviction was prevented.

We are vigorously seeking more funding so that we can continue this critical program. If you would like more information or have questions, please email webmaster@edencle.org.

Thank you for your support of EDEN's mission.
