N.M. gets $8M in fed housing funds

New Mexico has been awarded more than $8 million to boost the efforts of dozens of local homeless housing and service programs.

The grant funding comes from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department.

HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said there is evidence that every dollar spent on programs to help find stable homes for the homeless ends up saving lives and money.

The grants are awarded competitively to local projects to meet the needs of homeless clients. They fund a variety of programs, from street outreach and assessments to transitional and permanent housing programs.
