Announcement of New Projects Awarded for FY2010 CoC Homeless Competition
U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan today awarded more than $216 million to nearly 700 new homeless programs across the country. The grants announced today are $26 million more than last year’s grants and, combined with renewal funding announced earlier this year, represents the most homelessness assistance ever awarded by HUD. HUD is also continuing to confront rural homelessness by targeting a record $16.4 million to 87 never-before-funded programs in less populated areas of the country.
HSN’s 2010 CoC application scored high enough to qualify for new funding, so this announcement translates into more than $770,000 for our Continuum of Care. Almost $220,000 has been allocated for a transitional housing project with Catholic Charities and the remainder is allocated for Osceola County’s first Shelter Plus Care program. You’ll hear more from us about these projects as they are implemented.
