FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK MAJAYN-UAJRUYNE20210818
FHLB-Pittsburg and Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency partner to fight homelessness
The Federal Home Loan Bank-Pittsburgh (FHLB-Pittsburg) and Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) have partnered to create Home4Good, a housing entity aimed at ending homelessness in Pennsylvania, and provide $4.5 million of funds for its launch.
“We have many good programs across Pennsylvania that work to keep people in housing,” including affordable housing and rental housing options for older adults, low to moderate- income families, and people with special housing needs, according to PHFA Executive Director and CEO Brian Hudson. Home4Good will support PHFA’s mission by distributing its funds as grants to organizations that help people find or retain housing or offer supportive services.
Any organization that provides services fitting these criteria can apply for funding, including local governments, nonprofits and housing authorities. Home4Good’s grant application deadline ends on September 14. “With some additional targeted funding, we feel [these organizations] can make a tremendous difference in our joint effort with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh to reduce and perhaps even end homelessness in our state,” said Hudson.
