According to staff with the Bureau of Housing and Community Development, the HUD Continuum of Care awards were announced late last week. Portland is one of 23 communities in the country to receive funds for a “Rapid Re-Housing for Families Demonstration Program.”
The BHCD also received funds for two new permanent housing programs for chronically homeless persons with disabilities. Read the press release. (Read the complete breakdown of the funds in the next issue on March 6.)
Due to the lack of planning other communities weren’t so lucky.

I think this is a testament to all the work the BHCD has done, especially after reading the article about Tampa.
