Ayes: Barnes, Corprew, Gray, Lucas, Simpson, williams, Webb Nays: None 88-154 - Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of a motion to accept the $5,000 awarded to the City of Portsmouth from the emergency Shelter Grant Program to provide assistance to local emergency shelters. "~he Department of Housing & Urban Development has awarded the City of Portsmouth $5,000 through the FY 1988 Emergency Shelter Grant Program. Last year $28,000 was made available through the Grant to assist Portsmouth's two emergency shelters. The additional resources will also be used for continued support of the HER Shelter's homeless activities. As with the earlier grant, the shelter will be required to match the $5,000 grant with in-kind contributions from Doughties Foods, Inc., a local food supplier. Accordingly, City funds ~ili not be required. I recommend approval of the project and the transfer of $5,000 from the Grants ContIngency Account to support the program."
