The document discusses a campaign to raise $2.7 million to complete funding for the Homeless to Homes Shelter Collaborative plan in Hamilton County, OH. The plan calls for improving the local emergency shelter system through five specialized shelters providing services to help homeless individuals transition to permanent housing. The improved shelters will decrease homelessness by shortening shelter stays and increasing housing placements and self-sufficiency through employment and income support.
