Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the City of Gallup Housing Authority will receive a $118,584 grant to help provide housing to homeless veterans.

The funding comes from a U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) initiative that awards grants to public housing agencies that partner with Veterans Affairs medical facilities; the funds will be used to provide rental assistance.

"Veterans have done much to serve our country.  In turn, it is our duty to ensure that we do everything we can to support them," Bingaman said.
