Several housing facilities across West Virginia are sharing nearly $1.4
million in federal funding.
Senators. Joe Manchin and Jay Rockefeller
and Rep. Nick Rahall say the funding comes from the Continuum of Care Homeless
Assistance program.
The federal program is designed to
promote community-wide commitment with the goal of ending homelessness.
The state programs receiving funding
include the city of Charleston ,
the Charleston Kanawha Housing Authority, the Cabell-Huntington Coalition for
the Homeless, Bartlett House and Caritas House.
Rahall says the funds will help
accelerate efforts to provide safe and secure housing for the homeless,
including veterans.
