Wisconsin receives $81 Million in community & housing dollars

The Journal-Sentinel reports that HUD has awarded Wisconsin $81 million.  The article, unfortunately, is vague on what program(s) the money is for. 

The funding amounts include: State programs, $39.9 million; Milwaukee, $22.7 million; Madison, $3.4 million; Racine, $2.4 million; Dane County, $1.6 million; Green Bay, $1.5 million; La Crosse, $1.3 million; West Allis, $1.3 million; Janesville, $1 million; Sheboygan, $981,553; Oshkosh, $775,244; Wausau, $639,968; Beloit, $614,916; Appleton, $565,033; and Fond du Lac, $531,468.

Puzzlingly, the County of Milwaukee is not listed above, nor is Waukesha County, so I am not quite certain what program(s) this announcement covers.  I will update this when I find further information.

Update:  Paul Gores, who wrote the article, was kind enough to send me a copy of the press release.  As I suspected, this is for CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, and ESG programs.  But my puzzlement remains as Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties are still absent.
