Success Story: Through a major cooperative effort back in 1995, our community was funded for a Continuum of Care Homeless Grant. It continues to operate successfully in our community and has become a symbol of what organizations can do when they join together to make a difference. The program, called “Homeward Bound,” is cooperatively operated by the City of Decatur, the Decatur Housing Authority, DOVE, DMCOC, Heritage Mental Health Center, and CIDC. Homeless families receive intensive case management services and can be sheltered for up to two years. Since it’s inception, three hundred forty-two persons have been assisted through this program
