The Keller Community Storehouse has been awarded a stimulus grant in the amount of $999,950.

The money is allotted for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing Program. This grant is stringently designated; the majority of the monies coming to us will go to families needing this very specific assistance. What this means is that anyone who is on the verge of being evicted from property may qualify for assistance with rental property so they do not become homeless. It also covers those who are homeless by providing a program of rapid-rehousing.

Keller, TX – Keller ISD will launch a new single stream recycling program on October 1, another step in becoming a “green” district.

The district is joining forces with Republic Services to recycle cardboard, plastic, aluminum and steel in addition to paper products which KISD currently recycles. Keller ISD had been participating in a paper recycling program through Abitibi-Consolidated. Single stream recycling allows all of these materials to be disposed of in the same receptacles to be sorted at a Republic material recovery facility.
