U.S. Senators Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins announced today that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded more than $9 million in homeless assistance funds to homeless care centers throughout Maine. The funding comes from the Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance (CoC) program.
“These funds are essential to help Maine’s homeless population make the difficult transition from joblessness and homelessness to a better and more productive life,” Senators Snowe and Collins said in a joint statement. “Homeless assistance programs all across Maine are providing a vital and necessary framework for those who are experiencing homelessness in order to help them make the shift to living on their own and pursuing gainful employment.”
