Pet Assistance and Support Program

Overview

The intent of the program is to allow homeless shelters reduce barriers for those individuals with pets experiencing homelessness. By making accommodations for pets, we bring individuals into shelters who would otherwise remain on the streets. The program is designed to fund shelters to provide shelters, food, supplies, veterinary services to pets owned by people experiencing homelessness going into shelters. The grant will also cover the staffing and liability insurance related to providing these services. The maximum grant amount is $600,000.
