Washington, DC – U.S. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced $4,022,673 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for 14 West Virginia housing organizations and facilities across the state to provide affordable housing for low-income seniors.
“Far too many West Virginians are facing housing instability and experiencing homelessness, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only made this dire and heartbreaking issue worse. This funding will support West Virginia organizations and housing facilities that provide affordable housing for low-income West Virginia seniors across the state,” said Senator Manchin. “I will continue to fight for funding to ensure every West Virginian has a roof over their head, regardless of their situation.”
“Far too many individuals in West Virginia are struggling with homelessness and access to affordable housing,” Senator Capito said. “I’m glad to see this support coming to West Virginia through two of HUD’s housing programs, and I look forward to the impact each of these grants will have in communities across our state. I’m proud to help announce this funding, which will assist in providing West Virginians the opportunity to live independently, while also increasing access to important voluntary support services.”
