CHICAGO – U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson today presented Chicago Mayor Richard Daley with $49 million in grants to support more than 150 homeless programs in the Windy City. The grants announced today will support the full spectrum or “continuum of care” for homeless individuals and families – from street outreach and emergency shelter to transitional and permanent housing. Jackson made the presentation at a Northside apartment complex that provides permanent supporting housing to homeless persons with disabilities.
