HUD announces funding to support economic independence for low-income families
“The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will allocate $44 million to support programs that help people living in public housing or receiving rental assistance move toward economic independence. Acting HUD Secretary Adrianne Todman announced the funding at the Westwood Opportunity Center in Denver on Friday. The Denver Housing Authority’s family self-sufficiency program supports residents for up to five years and has helped about 400 families purchase homes, pay for higher education, and grow their savings.”
