St. Charles County’s Community Assistance Board will meet July 15 to discuss how $465,806 in federal aid to help homeless people should be distributed.

The session will be at 7 p.m. in room 115 of the County Administration Building at 201 North Second Street in St. Charles. The meeting is for area organizations interested in obtaining some of the money, distributed as part of the federal economic stimulus program.

County Executive Steve Ehlmann on Thursday signed an executive order allowing the board to begin work on recommending how the money should be allocated.

The program is designed to provide short-term housing help, “stabilization services” and “homelessness prevention assistance,” Ehlmann aide Jennifer George said in a news release.
