The National Low Income Housing Coalition has
done a good job of summarizing the impact of the shutdown on homeless
and housing programs. Locally, the HUD office is shut down and no
staff will be attending the next CAHA meeting if the shutdown
continues. The next Cuyahoga Affordable Housing Alliance meeting is
Monday October 7 in the lower level of the US Bank Building with Lou
Tisler of Neighborhood Housing Services and Bill Whitney of the Cuyahoga
County Land Bank. Here are the comments from the National Low Income
Housing Coalition:
On Monday September 30, Congress failed to provide FY14 funding for
the federal government to operate, which caused the government to shut
down beginning at midnight on October 1. The House refused to pass a
“clean” continuing resolution (CR) and the Senate refused to pass a CR
that made funding contingent on modifying the Affordable Care Act,
leaving the two chambers at an impasse.
