The additional funds will help these PHAs administer a joint program with HUD and Veterans Affairs to provide permanent homes and support services for the tens of thousands of chronically homeless vets across the nation.
In addition to trying to house homeless veterans in an expedited fashion, the PHAs are also initiating a robust marketing campaign, hosting Landlord Fairs to recruit landlords and other property owners to participate in the program. According to va.gov, in a Veterans Affairs video, First Lady Michelle Obama encourages landlords to help end homelessness among veterans .
As MHProNews has learned from portal.hud.gov, the awards range from $1,801 for Mason City, Iowa, to several PHAs in California that received a total of $2,283,516.
Might not manufactured homes be useful in housing homeless vets who have families? ##
