IMMEDIATE RELEASE Yesterday, Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) announced a total of $346,437 in federal vouchers from the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Housing Choice Voucher and Family Self-Sufficiency program. The Winston-Salem Housing Authority will receive $52,030, the Northwestern Regional Housing Authority in Boone will receive $200,804 and the Statesville Housing Authority will receive $93,603. “The vouchers to these housing authorities will foster community development in the 5th district to help increase employment, economic independence and self-sufficiency. Ultimately Congress should disengage the federal government from housing assistance programs and encourage states and localities to do what they think is appropriate,” Foxx stated. The vouchers from The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s programs are designed to promote self sufficiency in child care, transportation, education, job training and employment counseling, substance and alcohol abuse treatment, counseling, household skill training and homeownership counseling. “These vouchers will help establish stronger communities and assist many who are working hard everyday for self sufficiency and financial independence,” concluded Foxx. ### |
