FHA/VA/HUD

To assist victims in federal disaster areas, HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge has allocated funds to help communities recover and build resilience after a series of natural disasters in early 2023.

The Department issues a $1.3 million grant to the state of Hawaii to support people experiencing homelessness and those at risk of homelessness through HUD’s Rapid Unsheltered Survivor Housing program.

Grant sizes range from $654,507 for the Triangle J Council of Governments in North Carolina to $7,997,798 for the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services.

Multiple trade associations have responded to the FHFA’s Request for Input on the GSEs’ Single-Family Mortgage Pricing Framework through the promotion of responsible homeownership opportunities for all home-ready borrowers.

The Department has issued regulatory and administrative waivers to allow the use of funding to help communities in Maui and the Island of Hawaii to accelerate recovery efforts.

The Department has issued federal disaster relief to the state of Hawaii, with nearly 3,100 single- and multifamily residential properties with a combined reconstruction value (RCV) of $1.3 billion located within three preliminary wildfire perimeters on the island of Maui.

HUD and the VA will partner on a series of “Boot Camp” workshops to address homelessness across the nation’s veteran population.

Updates from the Department support the expanded use of solar program benefits for assisted housing residents, tying into the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act.

HUD has awarded eight communities with grants geared toward the promotion of innovative collaboration necessary to tackle lingering affordability issues in the housing space.

The Department is seeking to grow its Move to Work initiative, a program that improves housing choices for low-income families.
