Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Housing and Property

Senator John Hoeven today announced that North Dakota housing authorities have received 15 grants totaling more than $350,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public Housing Operating Fund. The program reimburses the operating costs of local housing authorities, which seek to meet the housing needs of low-income persons who are elderly, disabled, veterans, homeless or working poor.

"Safe and affordable housing helps provide a solid foundation for those who are vulnerable and seeking economic security and greater independence," Hoeven said. "To that end, these funds support the operations of our local housing authorities, who work to meet the unique needs of each of our communities and residents."

As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Senator Hoeven has worked to support housing and community development programs that address the needs and priorities of North Dakota.
