The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced a grant of $75 million to provide permanent housing for an estimated 10,000 homeless veterans nationwide. HUD's Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program (HUD-VASH) will provide local public housing agencies with approximately 10,000 rental assistance vouchers specifically targeted to assist homeless veterans in their area. In addition, the VA and HUD will link local public housing agencies with VA Medical Centers to provide supportive services and case management to eligible homeless veterans. New York City and the greater-Los Angeles area will receive the greatest number of vouchers.
