TEXAS - Texas will receive $2,518,973 to assist its homeless veterans. Approximately 470 homeless veterans living on the streets and in shelters in Texas will soon find a permanent place to call home.
The grants announced are part of $75 million appropriated this year to support the housing needs of homeless veterans through the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Program.
Veterans participating in the HUD-VASH program rent privately-owned housing and generally contribute no more than 30 percent of their income toward rent.
