WAKE COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- Wake County has announced that the "Bridge to Home" program has helped more than 3,300 people move into permanent housing.

Bridge to Home was created in 2021 to build a more flexible housing response system, according to the county.

It grew out of the Hotels to Housing initiative, which launched at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"This program is proof that ending homelessness requires a comprehensive approach. This means investing in a wide range of interconnected strategies, not just one single solution," said Safiyah Jackson.

The program began with $10.5 million in America Rescue Plan Act funding. Since then, Wake County has invested $2.45 million annually.
