The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced that the Trump administration is giving approximately $3 billion of CARES Act funding to
- Support homeless Americans
- Those at risk of becoming homeless as a result of the economic shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic
HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson said in a statement:
“Homelessness was a major issue in some cities across our Nation long before this pandemic occurred, and unfortunately the dire living conditions of our most vulnerable Americans left many without a home to isolate in or proper medical and healthcare resources to defend themselves against this invisible enemy.”
