The Bartlett House will receive $355,624, North Central WV Community Action will get while $106,540.
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced Tuesday that $9,755,284 funding will bolster community-based efforts to address homelessness by helping connect vulnerable individuals and families with critical supportive services.
“Every West Virginian deserves a roof over their head and a warm, safe place to sleep at night,” said Manchin. “Thousands of West Virginians and millions of Americans are currently experiencing homelessness, and we must work together to combat this devastating issue. I’m pleased HUD is investing more than $9.7 million to bolster the efforts of housing organizations across our state as they help connect individuals and families currently experiencing homelessness with vital supportive services. I look forward to seeing the positive impacts of these investments and, as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will continue advocating for resources to support a safe and secure living environment for every West Virginian across the Mountain State.”
