HUD awards $71.9 million to Florida homeless programs

U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan this week awarded $1.47 billion to renew funding to more than 7,100 local homeless programs operating across the country.

Approximately $71.9 million of that will renew funding to 331 homeless programs operating in Florida; about 40 of those programs are in the Tampa Bay area, according to a HUD statement.

The funding is meant to ensure the programs remain operating in 2012. The announced amount is $62 million more than last year, the most homeless assistance ever awarded by the department, according to the statement. The department is renewing funding through its ?Continuum of Care? programs to existing local programs to prevent interruption of federal assistance, and will award funds to new projects in early 2012.
