The Prince William Board of County Supervisors appropriated a $40,000 Community Development Block Grant from the Prince William Office of Housing and Community Development to help the county Department of Social Services to provide transportation services to the county’s homeless.

The county’s Homeless Services coordinated-entry staff will authorize the use of the funds. Those needing transportation should call 703-792-3366. Once the staff authorizes an expenditure, the cabs will take people to their destinations, and the cab companies will invoice the charges to the county.
