The Youngstown and Trumbull Metropolitan Housing Authorities are set to receive part of nearly $30 million in supplemental public housing funds as part of the CARES act.  

U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) announced that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded cities across Ohio nearly $30 million in Supplemental Public Housing Operating Funds, which help support public housing agencies across the state during the coronavirus pandemic. 

The Youngstown Metropolitan Housing Authority will receive $968,865 in funding and the Trumbull Metropolitan Housing Authority will receive $664,002 in funding 

The grants come from funds accessible through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

“These HUD grants are great news for Housing Authorities across Ohio that are struggling to keep up with growing housing expenses during this ongoing coronavirus pandemic,” said Portman. “These funds will help Housing Authorities all across Ohio to continue to meet the needs of those in their communities.
