Butler County is moving more money into emergency shelter resources as the area deals with an ongoing housing issue.
Nearly $350,000 in state funding is moving from homeless prevention into the emergency shelter component. Human Services officials say there is a much higher level of demand for shelter than originally anticipated.
They add that a lack of housing units and there being no real movement in the housing markets are part of the problem.
This is the second time this year that the county has requested adding more funding to emergency shelter, opposed to homeless prevention.
