(Washington, D.C.) –Today,
U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) applauded the announcement that four
Washington state community non-profits have been awarded funding to help
low-income seniors and persons with disabilities find affordable housing.
The funding will provide interest-free capital advances to non-profit
developers so they can produce accessible housing, offer rental assistance, and
provide supportive services. The grants announced today are provided through
HUD’s Section 202 and Section 811 Supporting Housing programs. As Chairman of
the Senate Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development Appropriations
Subcommittee, Senator Murray has fought to make sure these critical programs
were adequately funded over the years.
“These
local investments will help non-profit organizations across the state continue
their great work helping low-income families get off the streets and into a
home,” said Senator Patty Murray. “I have been proud to support this
program, and I am very glad that Washington state families are going to get
access to the resources they need to avoid homelessness.”
