Portland, ME, Program Credited with Helping over 800 Homeless People

Portland, ME, officials are winding down a program they credit with getting more than 800 people off the streets and into apartments. This program, funded with $876,000 in federal economic stimulus money, identified people who were at risk of becoming homeless or already chronically homeless, and helped develop plans to get or keep them off the streets and out of shelters.
