HUD & VA Team up

HUD & VA Team up To Help 9,000 Homeless Vets Find Homes: The U.S. Housing and Urban Development and Veterans Affairs have teamed up to provide housing for about 9,000 homeless veterans nationwide who live on the streets or in shelters.

HUD and the VA will provide $60 million to local public housing agencies to distribute the grants to homeless vets that will provide rental assistance. The vets participating will be able to rent privately owned housing and will contribute no more than 30 percent of their income toward rent.

These grants make it possible to help more veterans obtain housing, bringing us steps closer to our goal of ending veteran homelessness by 2015.” Read more ....
