Los Angeles’ public housing agency was awarded a $747,843 grant for a program that houses homeless veterans, officials said Friday.
The grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will go toward staffing to speed up tenancy approvals from landlords, inspections of housing units, personalized housing unit listings, landlord recruitment fairs and other services operated by the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles.
“The additional funding will ensure that we have dedicated resources to support this agency’s work,” HACLA President Douglas Guthrie said. “Our veterans must receive the support they need as they try to secure a place to call home.”
