'Tyler's House, An Organization Determined To End Homelessness In The Findlay & Hancock Conty Area' is a project to form an organization that provides temporary housing and social services to homeless individuals of our community. Our organization intends on combining resources and programs set up in the Findlay / Hancock county area into once central location for the homeless. Combining housing assistance programs, mental health services, drug and alchohol rehabilitation programs, and job placement assistance programs will help eliminate homelessness and discourage vagrancy in our community. The Stronger we are as a community where everyone matters and has a voice, the better we are able to lift up our heads with the pride that the Findlay and Hancock County truly cares that all individuals and familes succeed. Tyler's House would offer another homeless shelter that our community so desperately needs. The project is founded by Rob McClelland, of Findlay in memory of Tyler William Morehead of Henry County. The project was inspired from the hardships Rob faced after the death of his friend Tyler lead to homelessness in Findlay. Rob's experience with homlessness points out many problems within our community regarding homelessness and what needs to be done in our community to start a homeless shelter that believes all of our homeless can succeed and become independent in areas of employment, drug & alchohol rehablitation, mental health, and housing.
This project will be partially funded by grants from the US Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) and Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG). An ESG program and HUD can provide 1) homelessness prevention 2) supportive social services 3) housing programs 4) job placement assistance 5) drug and alchohol rehabilitation 6) medical assistance and 7) mental health support 8.) building renovations and 9.) administrative grants. We would also use grants available in our community through the Findlay Hancock County Community Foundation. This shelter would focus on incorporating the social services our county currently has to offer into one central facility built for the homeless and creating an effective system of services to help the homeless. Our organization believes in principles of ethics and humanity and helping all Findlay & Hancock County homeless residents. We have a strong community need to be able to provide all of our homeless residents with an organization that has a goal of ending homelessness by temporarily providing basic and social needs that will help lead a homeless individual to their own independence.
