Allegheny County has chosen an East Liberty human services provider to oversee a homeless prevention project.

The county’s Department of Human Services is providing Familylinks with about $1 million to prevent homelessness among families in the county’s child welfare system.

“This award represents recognition of the many hears that Familylinks has provided compassionate and effective resources to individuals and families facing homeless,” said Marianne DiMatteo, the organization’s CEO. “We are grateful to (the human services department) for the opportunity to extend our family-centered services to the community.”

Familylinks provides services each year to more than 9,500 people, including the homeless, substance addicted, seniors and individuals with mental and behavioral health issues.
