HUD ANNOUNCES $20.7 MILLION IN GRANTS TO PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCIES
Funding
to Provide Greater Access to Computers, Supportive Services WASHINGTON -
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded $20,745,477 in grants
today to provide public housing residents greater access to computer technology
and give them supportive services they need to become economically self-sufficient.
Today's grants are from two HUD programs - the Public Housing Neighborhood Networks
Program (NN) and the Resident Opportunities and Self Sufficiency (ROSS) Program.
"These grants provide the tools public housing residents need on their
way to self-sufficiency," said HUD Assistant Secretary Michael Liu. "Nothing compares
to having access to computers and services that encourage job-training that lead
to employment." Resident Opportunities and Self Sufficiency (ROSS) grants,
totaling $15.6 million will be awarded to 55 agencies. These are awarded to public
housing authorities, resident organizations or non-profit organizations acting
on behalf of residents. The funding allows these organizations to hire program
coordinators who link public housing residents with training opportunities, job
placement organizations and local employers - resources that lead to employment
and self-sufficiency. Public Housing Neighborhood Network grants, totaling
$5.1 million will be awarded to 23 housing authorities. Housing authorities use
this funding to establish, expand or update community technology centers. Neighborhood
Networks centers provide access to computers, computer training and the Internet.
NN centers can also provide a range of services to help residents achieve long-term
economic self-sufficiency. Public housing authorities may also use the funding
to hire staff to manage center activities, purchase equipment, and provide computer,
literacy and job training. HUD is the nation's housing agency committed
to increasing homeownership, particularly among minorities; creating affordable
housing opportunities for low-income Americans; and supporting the homeless, elderly,
people with disabilities and people living with AIDS. The Department also promotes
economic and community development as well as enforces the nation's fair housing
laws. More information about HUD and its programs is available on the Internet
at www.hud.gov and espanol.hud.gov.
