Out of Reach 2007-2008
Editor: Samantha Batko (mailto:[log in to unmask])
Spotlight On...
This week, the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC) released Out of Reach, their annual report on the affordability and availability of housing at the national, state, and local level. The report's primary measure of housing affordability is the Housing Wage, which is the hourly wage a worker must earn to afford a two-bedroom apartment in their community. Since the release of Out of Reach 2006 in December 2006, NLIHC found that the housing wage has increased 36 percent from $16.31 to $17.32. This is higher than the national average hourly wage of $16 for all workers and well above the average hourly wage of $13.94 for all renters. The report also finds that in 2008 there was no jurisdiction in the country where a full-time worker earning minimum wage could afford a one-bedroom apartment.
Additionally, Out of Reach provides side-by-side comparisons of rents and wages for each state, metropolitan area, and combined non-metropolitan area in the United States. For each region the report provides the housing wage for a 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom housing unit. The states with the highest housing wages are Hawaii ($29.02), DC ($25.46), and California ($24.01). The lowest housing wages are found in South Dakota ($11.19), West Virginia ($10.85), and North Dakota ($10.40).<p

Hearing on Homeless Veterans
On Wednesday, April 9, at 10 AM, the House Veterans
Affairs Committee, chaired by Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA),
will hold a hearing entitled, "Ending Homelessness
for our Nation's Veterans." The hearing will be held in
Room 334 of the Cannon House Office Building. A full list of witnesses (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001iTvcypu-Dog48eUIrVgZhJIwJLWIiIQhg0RUcHfbY7mvJUEPoKKAEwvLLvDLtXoBtZkWCMl-rPIGPP00ahFpBdqAZTR5Jx5JlG6OnAGE2WKJ5md544rtTH8ZRB-dnbEwV8l5M76_Jsmsdi-Wqeffvk9AyYMxQK1xmNrGGwzQJME=) is now
available.
Last November, the Homelessness Research
Institute of the National Alliance to End
Homelessness released the report, Vital Mission: Ending Homelessness
Among Veterans (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001iTvcypu-DogZ5ygjNn35NwOFWKBI4YJKFEUHB8V5xuCk3O_HPK4mDec2getuBkg5othiW3ua3-sn14bUWEhlP-3hqa58QFRMK-MVX3bsJEKpR8FY6s5RKnXZIWKsY2UXvB36gpQgEWmR3Smv59g4RjRZyz7TcG67Nh5G1OMxv7c=), which found that far too many
veterans are homeless and many are paying too
much for rent, leaving them at risk of homelessness.
Senators Circulate Sign-on Letter
Senators Jack Reed (D-RI) and Mel Martinez (R-FL)
are circulating a sign-on letter among their colleagues
to be sent to Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and
Christopher Bond (R-MO), the Chair and Ranking
Member, respectively, of the Senate Transportation-
HUD Appropriations Subcommittee. The letter
requests a funding level of $2 billion for McKinney
Homeless Assistance Grants for fiscal year (FY) 2009.
This amount is $364 million above the President's
budget request and $414 million over the FY 2008
level for this program.
In the House of Representatives, 85 members of
Congress signed on to a letter supporting $2 billion in funding for
McKinney Homeless Assistance Grants for FY
2009 (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001iTvcypu-Dogao78xTqZov0vGRwXVIc55n3r5wFBZX1tcBStKmkaUA-Njy78U51Mqvh9__K_FhHjpA9KHJ89S5q1zuqTdYgn3Czm2DyamC05RispDJ0l2-A1bpMs9iH9hNo6f7nWBas5qShS-mDwEVwWLmGEqZoYcEiXQMCf0kmk=).More Information - http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001iTvcypu-DohZWrLYwRzFFs4HZr3KncX2cngdp9yETHwiBuygp-YFnXVXCUXvtXtj9uYeODZpRr7dUUi4dEQZZsijelGGNVsOXseadj5os0_1Lo8Q-_BqFg==

SAMHSA Releases Treatment Systems for Homeless Grant Opportunity
Article subheading
Last week, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for
Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) released a
request for applications for grants targeting people
experiencing homelessness with substance use and
mental health disorders. Programs specifically
helping runaway and homeless youth, veterans,
chronically homeless people and chronic inebriates
will receive priority. SAMHSA has made $10 million
available, of which $4.5 million is designated for
permanent supportive housing programs. With each
grant being a maximum of $400,000 per year for five
years (dependent on available funding), SAMHSA
expects to fund at least 25 programs.
