Washington - U.S. Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) today announced New Jersey will receive $22,373,892 in federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to assist homeless men and women in New Jersey access housing opportunities. The funds were awarded through various HUD Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance competitive programs.
"In these difficult economic times, we have to help ensure those who are struggling the most have a place to call home," said Senator Menendez, Chairman of the Banking Subcommittee on Housing, Transportation and Community Development. "This investment will help homeless families and individuals gain stability through community-based support services to start on a path to a better future."
"This federal funding will provide homeless men and women in New Jersey with the assistance and services they need to gain access to housing and improve their lives," stated Senator Lautenberg, a member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, which funds these programs. "With this funding, we can offer new opportunities to some of the state's most hard pressed families and put more New Jerseyans in decent homes."
The Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance competitive programs provide funding for a range of assistance to homeless persons, including transitional housing, permanent housing and other supportive services. The Continuum programs included in this grant announcement were awarded through the Supportive Housing Program (SHP) and the Shelter Plus Care Program (S+C), designed to develop housing and services that allow homeless men and women to live as independently as possible. Other Continuum programs include the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation for SRO Dwellings for Homeless Individuals.
A total of 66 grants were awarded to agencies across the state, some receiving multiple awards. The $22,373,892 in federal grants were awarded to the following organizations in New Jersey:
