112th Congress
There are always so many people to thank when good things happen.
Healdsburg firefighters are accustomed to coming to the rescue of others. Now the federal government is coming to the aid of the strapped Fire Department with a $325,000 federal grant to beef up staffing.
“We are thrilled to have received the grant, because what it does is allow us to fully fund a 40-hour firefighter position,” City Manager Marjie Pettus said. “It's fantastic news.”
1st District Congressman Mike Thompson has announced a $145,837 federal grant that will help provide permanent housing and support to veterans on the North Coast. The grant, provided through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), will be administered by the North Coast Veterans Resource Center and Humboldt County Housing Authority.
Please join me and Congressman George Miller for a Veterans Resource Fair! Hear from and meet with representatives from local VA Medical Centers, the VA Oakland Regional Office, and other federal agencies that offer services and benefits to veterans!
