Press Release

Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) announced two Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants, totaling $123,914, for the towns of Derby and New Haven today. Part of the Housing Choice Voucher- Family Self Sufficiency Program, these funds will be used to support the development of local strategies to help families increase their income potential and become more self-sufficient.

The individual grants awarded are:

Derby: $54,914

New Haven: $69,000

"These critical funds will help those who are struggling, especially during these tough economic times, by providing individuals with the skills and experience they need to find a job and earn a living wage. By coordinating public housing agencies with welfare agencies, schools, and businesses, communities are helping families get back on their feet. I am very pleased that Derby and New Haven have been awarded these grants, and I look forward to seeing their positive impacts."
