Springfield Council to consider funding to combat youth homelessness

In Springfield, an effort is on to end youth homelessness.

Station KY3 reports that the Springfield City Council is set to consider a bill tonight [Monday] that will let the city apply for funding for that purpose.

The bill, if approved, would let the city apply for at least $600,000 to target homelessness among 13 to 24-year-olds in and around Springfield.

The funds would come from the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development.
