OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AWARDS ALMOST $18 MILLION IN HOMELESS GRANTS TO OVER ONE HUNDRED LOCAL HOUSING AND SERVICE PROGRAMS IN TENNESSEE
NASHVILLE - U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan today announced that the Obama Administration is awarding $17,840,407 in grants to over one hundred local homeless programs throughout
Tennessee. HUD grants offer homeless individuals and families a wide range of housing and support services.
"With the foreclosure and unemployment crisis looming, millions of families - both homeowners and renters - are in danger of losing their homes so we must focus substantial resources to help those families find stable housing," said Donovan. "The grants being awarded today, along with the recovery plan's additional $1.5 billion, will offer a critical lifeline to those persons and families who, after a foreclosure or job loss, might otherwise be faced with
homelessness. Today we are announcing an unprecedented commitment to fund programs that have a proven track record of providing real housing solutions for our most vulnerable neighbors."
Included in today's announcement, HUD is awarding $24 million to create new pilot programs in 23 local communities
to rapidly rehouse homeless families with children. These local pilot programs will become the basis of a significantly expanded $1.5 billion effort to offer quick housing assistance to homeless families and to prevent homelessness
among those facing a sudden economic crisis.
HUD's funding is provided in two ways:
- Continuum of Care Grants provide permanent and transitional housing to homeless persons. In addition, Continuum grants fund important services including job training, health care, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment and child care. More than $1.5 billion in Continuum of Care grants are awarded competitively to local programs to meet the needs of their homeless clients. Continuum grants fund a wide variety of programs from street outreach and assessment programs to transitional and permanent housing for homeless persons and families.
- Emergency Shelter Grants provide funds for the operation of local shelters and fund related social service and homeless prevention programs. Emergency Shelter Grants are allocated based on a formula to state and local governments to create, improve and operate emergency shelters for homeless persons. These funds may also support essential services including job training, health care, drug/alcohol treatment, childcare and homelessness prevention activities. By helping to support emergency shelter, transitional housing and needed support services, Emergency Shelter Grants are designed to move homeless persons away from a life on the street toward permanent housing.
