The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is putting money towards public housing for Kentucky veterans and their families.
Eleven public housing agencies across Kentucky will be getting $326,279 from the HUD.
That includes:
- Louisville Metro Housing Authority – $150,049

The money comes as part of a national program called Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing. It helps with rental assistance programs, case management and other support systems.
A release from the HUD says agencies are encouraged to use the money to help bolster housing search assistance, landlord recruitment and landlord/tenant mediation.
