Ivey awards $22M to aid homeless, those at-risk of homelessness

Gov. Kay Ivey has awarded more than $22 million to help Alabamians who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless during the COVID-19 pandemic. The funding will go toward helping citizens obtain shelter and other assistance to get back on their feet.

The funds from the federal Emergency Solutions Grant program will enable 15 regional agencies to provide shelter, legal and health services and other assistance to individuals and families who face losing their homes or are already homeless during the pandemic.
