WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will spend $5 billion in American Rescue Plan money to provide 70,000 vouchers to public housing authorities around the country that will allow them to provide housing for Americans who are homeless or in danger of losing their housing, HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge announced Monday.
Fudge, a former Warrensville Heights mayor and member of Congress, said the vouchers will help house 130,000 people who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. The vouchers will cover rent for apartments and houses until the end of 2022, and will be renewed for families participating in the program.
