Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering a subrecipient contract with The Salvation Army. This contract is for continuing emergency homeless shelter services and the Life Navigation program. The proposed contract amount is $893,520, funded by the General Fund. This agreement would support twenty-four shelter beds and provide case management and housing-focused services for individuals experiencing homelessness in Lee County. The anticipated number of individuals to be served between October 1, 2025, and September 30, 2026, is 174. This item is currently under review by the Board. The work involves providing ongoing social services and case management, with potential needs for administrative support, program supplies, and related operational expenses. Local businesses in social services, administrative support, and potentially facility maintenance could find opportunities by engaging with The Salvation Army early in this process, before final program details and operational plans are set.
