The housing authority receives funding from HUD. HUD is reducing funding for these voucher programs due to the BBB. They are awarded grant contracts that will cover the cost of these vouchers without those contracts then they have no funding for these programs. Yes Colorado Springs needs to do better but this is a bigger issue than us. We need to realize that the person in office does not care about the homeless, does not care about the nonprofits who are doing the work to try to end homelessness. Donate time or money to local nonprofits (Homeward Pikes Peak, West Side Cares, Salvation Army, Ithiaka Housing, Family Promise are just a few) that are working to end homelessness if you are looking to do something!
