The federal stimulus program is trickling down in a very helpful way, according to the Boston Business Journal.
The Metropolitan Boston Housing Partnership and Heading Home will use $4.5 million in federal stimulus funds to move more than 700 homeless families being sheltered in area motels and hotels into housing.
Massachusetts is steering $17.9 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to community-based nonprofits to address the needs of families and individuals who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless.
According to the BBJ, MBHP and Heading Home are on schedule to move as many as 760 families in Greater Boston out of hotels into permanent housing over the next two years.
There are currently thousands of people housed in area hotels and motels, in Boston and nearby cities and towns, costing the state millions of dollars.
