WASHINGTON - The Housing and Urban Development Department is using $1.2 billion in stimulus money to fight homelessness.
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan announced this week that cash from the Recovery Act will be distributed to more than 500 cities, counties and communities. The money will be used for rent relief, housing relocation and stabilization services, data collection and administrative costs.
Donovan said the money would address two issues: preventing homelessness and rapidly finding places to live for those who are homeless. He said about 52 percent will pay for prevention efforts.
