The $72 million in grants announced today support a wide range of programs including street outreach, client assessment, and direct housing assistance. In March, HUD awarded more than $1.5 billion in a first round of grant funding to renew support for more than 7,000 other local programs. HUD will make a third round of funding to support selected new projects later this year.

(305,137 posts)"the Sequester" is awful. Like I posted to Skraxx.. the Obama Admin doesn't have to go through the Plutocratic Koch Gops to get this DONE.

(305,137 posts)The Obama Admin is actually Helping our Homeless and have been since their goal in 2010..
Great to get an update on their ongoing "Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness that puts the country on a path to end verterans and chronic homelessness by 2015 and to ending homelessness among children, family, and youth by 2020."
There will always be people who prefer living outdoors but for those who don't want it .. this is so encouraging!

(546 posts)I am a veteran living in section 8 housing with no job. I'm taking online classes and will be going in a job training program to get skills for a survival type job I've never done.
Far from not wanting to work, most of us in our 50s and 60s still want to work and contribute. I am glad I am housed. It gives me a base to keep alive in as I work to get back into the job force. If I wasn't housed, just surviving would be all I'd be working at doing. That would suck.

(305,137 posts)Important to have a place where we can work out from or in my case be retired.
Good Luck with your classes and job training and then.. the search for your job. Sounds like you have a Solid Plan!

Actuallly, it's good to know this is happening.. don't know of too many other places you're going to see news like this except the HUD portal, the obama diary, and the BOG.
So much bad news, fake news, and more fake news is covered everywhere else.
