WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mike Bost (IL-12) today announced 14 federal grants totaling over $20 million awarded to Southern Illinois housing authorities. The grants, awarded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Capital Fund Program, will be used for management improvements and the development, financing, and modernization of Public Housing properties.
“These resources help ensure that Southern Illinoisans who need it have access to safe, stable public housing,” said Bost. “The heartbreaking circumstances of local residents subjected to substandard public housing are well-documented at this point. I am hopeful these additional resources will make those stories increasingly rare moving forward.”
