Salvation Army

The Salvation Army is a global Christian charitable organization dedicated to providing social services, humanitarian aid, and support to vulnerable populations. Registered as a non-profit, tax-exempt corporate entity, the organization focuses on addressing homelessness, poverty, and community development through various assistance programs. In the context of federal grant awards, the Salvation Army receives sub-grants primarily related to housing assistance, emergency shelter, and support services for unhoused individuals and families.

Based on the federal grant sub-award history, the Salvation Army has been working closely with local government entities in Kentucky, including the Kentucky Housing Corporation, Kentucky Department for Local Government, and the City of Ashland. Their grant-funded activities include providing temporary emergency shelter, food services for homeless individuals and families, and implementing housing navigation and rental assistance programs. Specifically, recent sub-awards have supported a Housing Navigator salary, case management for Rapid Rehousing (RRH) programs, and tenant-based rental assistance (TBRA). The organization leverages these federal grant funds to help move unhoused individuals from emergency shelters into stable housing, with a particular focus on community-based nonprofit housing assistance in the Ashland, Kentucky area. The grants cover operational costs such as food, utilities, workers' compensation insurance, and liability insurance, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to addressing homelessness and housing insecurity.
