Data That
Tells a Story

In 2024 Life Resource Services of Jackson County was awarded a $126,900 grant through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Life Resource Services partnered with Alabama Rural Coalition for the Homeless (ARCH) to implement the Rapid Rehousing Program for residents of Jackson County. 

Over a period of 18 months qualified individuals and families were assisted with emergency shelter, and a pathway to permanent housing. A Case Manager followed up with each client to ensure success in their placement. 

As of January 2026, it has been reported that 63.6% of those who obtained housing have remained in those placements. This program was a success for the unhoused and vulnerable residents of Jackson County. Thanks to this generous grant LRS was able to help improve conditions for individuals and families who qualified. The Rapid Rehousing Program funds have been exhausted in this effort to better Jackson County residents.
