Clarksburg-Harrison Regional Housing Authority Gets Cut of $48 Million from HUD for Affordable Housing

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on March 01, 2021

U.S. Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced over 51 awards totaling $47,761,814 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The awards aim to create and provide quality, affordable housing and address homelessness across West Virginia.
 
“Every West Virginian deserves to have a roof over their head and a warm place to sleep, no matter their circumstances. Affordable housing is essential and the COVID-19 pandemic has only made things more difficult for many hard-working West Virginians,” said Senator Manchin. “I’m pleased HUD is investing in affordable housing and programs to help West Virginians experiencing homelessness. I will continue advocate for funding and resources to help address homelessness and will fight for every West Virginian to have a roof over their head.”
 
“As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is still felt across West Virginia, our counties and cities must be given the resources they need to support their residents,” Senator Capito said. “This funding from HUD supports West Virginia by providing needed assistance to help our residents facing homelessness and strengthens our public housing sector. I will continue to use my role on the Senate Appropriations Committee to make sure West Virginia receives the federal support it needs to combat homelessness, and bolster public housing programs across our state.”
