State Receiving $17M for Flooding Recovery

West Virginia is receiving $17 million in federal money to help recover from deadly flooding over the summer.

The funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery program was announced by West Virginia lawmakers on Friday.

Flooding in late June killed 23 people statewide and devastated homes, businesses, schools and infrastructure.

The joint announcement was made Friday by U.S. Sens. Shelley Moore Capito and Joe Manchin, along with U.S. Reps. David McKinley, Alex Mooney and Evan Jenkins.

The disaster recovery program was included in the recently passed Continuing Appropriations and Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act and Zika Response and Preparedness Act.

Nearly $7 Million in Grants Awarded to Help End Homelessness in W.Va.

Housing facilities across West Virginia will receive a total of $6,749,574 under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Continuum of Care (CoC) Program for projects with the goal of ending homelessness. The funding was announced Monday by U.S. Senator Joe Manchin’s office. 
 
“In West Virginia, we understand the importance of helping those who have fallen on hard times,” Senator Manchin said in a news release. 

 
“These funds will help care for those who are struggling, including seniors, children and veterans, and it will ensure they have a roof over their heads and access to the support they need to get back on their feet. Because of this funding, West Virginians in need will also have the opportunity to develop specific skillsets to help them return to the workforce, provide for themselves and their families, and contribute to our communities.”
 
According to a news release issued Monday, the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program is designed to promote communitywide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness by providing funding to organizations and State and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families and improve self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
