More than $3.4M announced in housing, urban Development Funding for NYC
U.S. Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand on Friday announced $3,410,944 in federal funding for New York City. The funding was allocated through two U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs. $1,980,377 was allocated through HUD’s Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program and $1,430,567 was allocated through HUD’s Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program.
Both the New York City Housing Authority and the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development will receive funding from both programs to carryout services and provide housing vouchers for citizens in need.
“This federal funding will help homeless veterans and their families find affordable housing in New York’s expensive housing market and meaningful employment,” said Schumer.
