Special Purpose Vouchers

From the San Diego Housing Commission's press release:

Located about two miles from the beach and a mile from a transit center in one of San Diego’s high-opportunity communities, the Rose Creek Village development celebrated its groundbreaking today, commemorating the start of construction that will produce 59 new studio apartments with rents affordable to households with low income.

From the King County Housing Authority:

After foster care ended, Jonas faced homelessness, hunger, and life-threatening health struggles. What changed everything was access to a federally-funded Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) Voucher, providing him with safe and stable housing and the foundation to rebuild his life.

Jonas’ story shows that housing isn’t just shelter—it’s stability, opportunity, and hope. Programs like FYI housing assistance are critical in helping youth transition successfully out of foster care and into independence.

From ABC 4 News Utah:

From Signal Cleveland:

Rental assistance is set to be available at two Cleveland housing developments intended for veterans and their families.

The Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority Board of Commissioners approved two agenda items at its Aug. 7 meeting allowing the authority to enter agreements with developers for housing vouchers at two forthcoming projects:

Today, HUD announced policy changes to the VASH program aimed at improving access to housing opportunities for veterans with service-connected disability benefits. HUD is expanding access to HUD-VASH by requiring PHAs to set initial income eligibility for veterans at 80% of AMI, rather than 50% of AMI.
