Cleveland anti-homelessness initiative has rehoused 47 people

• A dozen others were housed during the program's first 30 days.

What they're saying: "The data reaffirms that these individuals' specific needs were not being met by the current systems in place, which is the reason why my administration stepped up to take on a more active role in addressing this issue," Mayor Justin Bibb said in a statement.

Between the lines: 90% of the region's unhoused population uses the shelter system, which is funded by Cuyahoga County.

Catch up quick: Cleveland City Council greenlighted $2 million in June for "Home for Every Neighbor."

• Money has been used to recruit landlords citywide via signing bonuses and a year of guaranteed rental payments.
• After housing is secured, case workers provide intensive support for a year based on individuals' specific needs.

Reality check: Bibb's initial goal was to house 150 people sleeping on Cleveland's streets by the end of October.
