The funds come from HUD's Family Self-Sufficiency Program.

"These grants provide people with the skills and education they need to move up in the workforce," said Thompson. "Everyone who works hard, and plays by the rules should have the opportunity get a job and save for a home of their own. HUD's Family Self-Sufficiency Program helps families do just that, and I am a proud supporter of these important funds."
