The RUSH program provides crucial funding to assist individuals and families experiencing homelessness in designated disaster areas, specifically targeting North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. HUD Secretary Scott Turner emphasized the program's role in filling gaps left by existing federal disaster relief efforts. With a total allocation of $11.4 million, the funding aims to support vulnerable populations affected by natural disasters. This effort is part of the administration's broader commitment to disaster recovery, ensuring that those impacted receive the necessary resources to rebuild their lives.
Today's RUSH funding underscores the administration's commitment to helping individuals and families in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and have needs not fully met by existing federal disaster relief programs.
While many of our nation's federal disaster programs help Americans return to their homes or rebuild a home in the wake of natural disasters, HUD's RUSH program ensures we fill the gap of unmet needs for individuals experiencing homelessness in a disaster area.
Turner lauded the RUSH program, particularly since it targets relief on homelessness stemming from disasters, ensuring that vulnerable Americans impacted by disasters receive the necessary support.
