By Leslie Black-Plumeau. Reposted from Housing Matters, May 3, 2013. “Nearly $3.6 million in annual federal assistance for transitional, permanent, and supportive housing to Vermonters who experience homelessness will be renewed. Nationwide, a total of $72 million will be provided, announced HUD Secretary Shaun Donavan yesterday. ‘We know these modest investments in housing and serving our homeless neighbors not only saves money, but saves lives,” said Donovan. “These local programs are on the front lines of the Obama Administration’s efforts to prevent and end homelessness as we know it once and for all.'” HUD will award a third round of grants to selected projects later in the year.
