Lexington-Fayette funds bridge and transitional housing through the Office of Homelessness Prevention and Intervention with shelter and case-management capacity at Catholic Action Center and New Beginnings Bluegrass under the Lexington Continuum of Care.
LFUCG's Continuum of Care channels HUD ESG, CDBG, and local general-fund dollars into bridge-housing beds operated by Catholic Action Center, New Beginnings Bluegrass, and partner agencies. Residents typically stay 30 to 180 days while a case manager pursues a Housing Choice Voucher, rapid-rehousing subsidy, or permanent supportive-housing slot. Beds are coordinated through the LexCoC by-name list and the Coordinated Entry assessment. Programs follow HUD's housing-first rule and may not refuse residents for active substance use, though units are smoke-free under KRS §438.305 and LFUCG indoor-air rules.
Programs failing housing-first or HUD ESG standards can lose CoC funding from LFUCG; residents who break shelter rules typically receive progressive discipline rather than instant exit, except for violence or weapons under KRS §65.870 firearms preemption.
