Mercy Health Foundation is donating $30,000 to help support the local homeless services support system as the number of cases in Greene County continues to increase.
There are at least 48 cases in the county, including four deaths.
Community Partnership of the Ozarks’ Ozarks Alliance to End Homelessness (OAEH), the HUD-designated regional Continuum of Care, has established a COVID-19 Task Force to develop and implement a shelter, containment, quarantine and isolation plan for those who are homeless, according to a news release.
