PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Those experiencing homelessness, or are at imminent risk of homelessness, in Port St. Lucie could be eligible to receive some much needed help.
The city of Port St. Lucie said it reopened the application process Friday morning for eligible individuals.
The city said grant funds will be used to provide emergency rental assistance through the Emergency Rental Assistance 2 Rapid-Rehousing Program.
