In April, HUD announced the availability of vouchers for non-elderly persons with disabilities. I believe the Housing Authority of City of Milwaukee and Kenosha Housing Authority both applied. HUD has awarded nearly $33 million to Public Housing Authorities that will fund nearly 4,300 vouchers. Unfortunately, no Public Housing Authority in Wisconsin received the awarded vouchers at this time.
The program had two categories; one for what might be called "normal" housing vouchers for persons with disabilities, and the second category is specifically to assist persons with disabilities in transitioning out of nursing homes and other health care facilities. The announced awards cover the first category, and the second category which should be up to 1,000 vouchers, will be announced later in the year.
