OUR HOUSING ASSISTANCE IS NOT IMPACTED
The federal government has recently paused some funding, as directed by the Office of Management and Budget. However, we want to assure you that our housing assistance funding is not impacted by this pause.
The Housing Choice Voucher Program will continue to meet its financial obligations to owners and participants in these programs.
HABC will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available, and we want you to know that we are fully committed to ensuring that our families stay safely housed, both now and moving forward.
