HUD Announces $1.5 Million For Community Development and Affordable Housing In American Samoa
August 2, 2012

U.S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan today announced that American Samoa will receive approximately $1.5 million to support community development and produce more affordable housing. HUD’s annual funding will also help find homes for individuals and families living on the streets.

This year’s block grant funding requires tough choices that we would not have made in better circumstances,” Donovan said. “As we work under the challenges of our nation’s deficit, we must also understand that these programs are absolutely essential in promoting community development, producing affordable housing, helping our homeless and even supporting long-term disaster recovery.”

The funding announced today is for:

  • Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds;
  • HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funding;
  • Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)
