The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs recently announced that HUD will provide $72.6 million to public housing agencies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to supply permanent housing and case management for more than 10,000 homeless veterans.
This permanent supportive housing assistance is to be provided through HUD’s Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program (HUD-VASH), a program administered by HUD, VA, and local housing agencies to provide permanent housing with case management and other supportive services for homeless veterans across the country.
These grants are part of $75 million appropriated for Fiscal Year 2012 to support the housing needs of homeless veterans.
