ILLINOIS: City Gets Funds for Homeless Services

Chicago Tribune (12.23.03) - Monday, December 29, 2003
Gary Washburn

The federal government awarded $37 million to help Chicago end homelessness, officials announced last Monday at a news conference. An additional $9.5 million was awarded to the city to assist Chicagoans with AIDS, said Roy Bernardi, assistant secretary of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, who appeared with Mayor Richard Daley for the announcement. Of the $9.5 million, $8.3 million is earmarked for providing permanent housing and social services to people with HIV/AIDS and their families. The remainder will provide 187 long-term rental subsidies to people with HIV/AIDS who have unstable housing situations. Participants will be part of research designed to assess the influence of housing on health and risk behavior.
