U.S. Senator Jon Tester announced $158,911 in funding for the Missoula Housing Authority to help homeless veterans and their families find and retain permanent housing. This will amount to nearly 20 new permanent housing vouchers for the Missoula Housing Authority to house homeless veterans and their families.
“Missoula Housing Authority is thankful for this award of HUD-VASH vouchers that allows us to seamlessly complete our conversion of our long-standing Valor House project from transitional housing to permanent housing for homeless veterans,” said Jim McGrath, Director of HUD Programs, Missoula Housing Authority. “We have seen for some time that the most effective solution to veteran homelessness is permanent housing, and it is what MHA does best. We are all very excited to dedicate Valor House as a permanent resource for homeless veterans, and to continue and strengthen our partnership with the VA. We thank Senator Tester for his tireless work on behalf of veterans.”
