President Biden and Vice President Harris believe that all Americans deserve access to a safe, affordable home, and today's actions advance the Administration's goal to provide new funding and support to house low-income seniors.
HUD officials, including acting secretary Adrianne Todman, explained that this assistance is for a core constituency in pursuit of HUD's mission. Today, we are furthering our commitment to improving the quality of life for older adults of limited means, Todman said in a statement.
