HUD AWARDS NEARLY $2.2 BILLION TO LOCAL HOMELESS PROGRAMS

HUD No. 20-006 HUD Public Affairs (202) 708-0685 |
FOR RELEASE Tuesday January 14, 2020 |
HUD AWARDS NEARLY $2.2 BILLION TO LOCAL HOMELESS PROGRAMS
Funding supports thousands of local homeless housing and service
programs
WASHINGTON - U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Secretary Ben Carson today announced nearly $2.2 billion in grants to
support thousands of local homeless assistance programs across the nation.
HUD's Continuum of Care grants will provide critically needed support to
approximately 6,593 local programs on the front lines, serving individuals
and families experiencing homelessness. This is the first of two
announcements of Continuum of Care awards. View a complete list of all the state and local homeless projects
awarded funding.
"A safe, affordable place to call home is key when creating a path toward
opportunity and self-sufficiency," said Secretary Carson in Ohio, where he
made the funding announcement. "The grants awarded today help our partners
on the ground to reduce homelessness in their communities and help our
most vulnerable neighbors."
HUD Continuum of Care grant funding supports a broad array of
interventions designed to assist individuals and families experiencing
homelessness, particularly those living in places not meant for
habitation, located in sheltering programs, or at imminent risk of
becoming homeless. Each year, HUD serves more than a million people
through emergency shelter, transitional, and permanent housing
programs.
HUD continues to challenge state and local planning organizations called
"Continuums of Care" to support their highest performing local programs
that have proven most effective in meeting the needs of persons
experiencing homelessness in their communities.
In 2019, most of the country experienced a combined decrease in
homelessness but significant increases in unsheltered and chronic
homelessness on the West Coast, particularly California and Oregon, offset
those nationwide decreases, causing an overall increase in homelessness of
2.7 percent. HUD's 2019 Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress found that 567,715 persons experienced homelessness on a single
night in 2019, an increase of 2.7 percent since 2018 but nearly 11 percent
decline since 2010. The number of families with children experiencing
homelessness declined 5 percent from 2018 and more than 32 percent since
2010. Local communities also reported a continuing trend in reducing
veteran homelessness across the country—the number of veterans
experiencing homelessness fell 2.1 percent since January 2018 and by 50
percent since 2010.
The grants HUD is awarding include the following:
