Nearly 32 Pennsylvania counties including Somerset, Blair, and Cambria received $23.7 Million in funds for VA homeless program to prevent homelessness.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded funds to the Eastern Pennsylvania Continuum of Care, a group formed across the state to address critical needs.
The homeless programs in Pennsylvania received $147 Million to support thousands of housing assistance efforts, homelessness support services, and planning initiatives.
However, it is still not known how funds will be distributed across the 32-county region from Cambria to the Poconos region.
HUD’s Regional Administrator Matthew Heckles said, “In the fight against homelessness, HUD’s Continuum of Care Program stands as the indispensable backbone, channeling a historic $3.16 billion to communities—a monumental commitment in the face of escalating homelessness rates nationwide”.
