Fifteen homeless Vermont veterans will receive permanent housing assistance as part of a $58.6 million U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rental assistance program announced last week.
The program will connect homeless veterans from local Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMC) with rental assistance vouchers provided by local public housing agencies.
Nationwide, nearly 8,000 veterans will benefit.
In Vermont, 15 vouchers will be made available to veterans from the VAMC in White River Junction through the Vermont State Housing Authority.
