HUD Awards $8.6 Million to Provide Rental Assistance to Native American Veterans Experiencing Homelessness
This month, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded $8.5 million to provide rental assistance and supportive services to Native American veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
The 29 renewal awards are funded by the Tribal HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (Tribal HUD-VASH) Program, which combines rental assistance from HUD with case management and clinical services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Currently, more than 440 Native American veterans are housed under the Tribal HUD-VASH program. Since its inception, the program has provided rental assistance or case management services to more than 1,000 Native American veterans across the country.
