Seniors in financial distress no longer have to worry about becoming homeless, as the government is giving more than $ 17 million to ensure they remain adequately protected.
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently announced the release of “pre-development” grants for senior housing development organizations. These are private, non-profit organizations dedicated to the construction of housing for the elderly.
The support that the government is giving to our elders is a way of showing how much it values everything they have done. Since there are many seniors who do not earn enough to have a decent home for themselves, something had to be done to help them live in an environment suitable for their various physical conditions.
Senior housing development organizations are doing a noble job of providing affordable senior housing. They also ensure that the elderly have access to cleaning, transportation, cooking and other services to make their daily life easier.
At this time, housing development organizations in thirty states will receive the HUD grants. The money awarded varies, as an individual grant can amount to $ 400,000, while a single sponsor or partner organizations can get up to $ 800,000.
This grant distribution is supported by HUD’s Senior Supportive Housing Section. The government does not require these housing development organizations to pay back the money as long as they serve the elderly for forty years.
The elderly deserve not only sincere gratitude and respect for the things they have sacrificed and done for the benefit of future generations, but also a decent home that will keep them safe and secure at all times.
