RECOMMENDATIONS
ACCEPT a report on the award of 45 new vouchers for homeless individuals and their families from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and an update on the Housing Authority’s various homeless housing programs.
BACKGROUND
The 45 new homeless vouchers are funded through the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program. VASH is a collaborative program funded through both HUD and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). VASH combines HUD housing vouchers with VA supportive services to help homeless Veterans and their families find and sustain permanent housing. Entry to the program is through the VA. In addition to HACCC, the Pittsburg Housing Authority operates a VASH program with participants living both in the City of Pittsburg and in HACCC’s jurisdiction. The “VASH – Pittsburg/HACCC” line in the chart below indicates how many of Pittsburg’s VASH clients live in HACCC’s jurisdiction (currently 40).
BACKGROUND (CONT'D)
