There was a vote today on the recommendations for shelter funds for
2014. These are federal dollars from the 2013 allocation from HUD which
involves a 5% cut because of Sequestration. To fully fund all of our
currently funded shelters, services, and housing programs for homeless
people we need $24,608,600 and HUD is only giving us $23,995,100. This
means that a few of the shelters will face a large cut in funding and
another group of services/shelters will not know if they are going to
get funded at all until February 2014. For five facilities in
Cleveland, they are going to wait to see if HUD picks their project
based on the amount of money unspent at the national level and
competition from every other city in America.
