WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, on June 6 announced $53,797 in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for two West Virginia Public Housing Authorities (PHAs). Specifically, this funding aims to address unsheltered and/or rural homelessness through HUD’s Continuum of Care (CoC) Program to help those experiencing homelessness after fleeing sexual violence, human trafficking, or domestic violence.

“It’s important that we do all we can to support West Virginians who are seeking shelter after they have escaped some of the worst situations someone can face, and this HUD funding helps do just that,” Senator Capito said. “I am proud to help secure this funding for West Virginia’s CoC providers and I look forward to the positive outcome this funding will have when it comes to helping vulnerable West Virginians find permanent homes.”

Individual awards listed below:

• $27,687 – Housing Authority of Mingo County
• $26,110 – Housing Authority of Randolph County
