Albuquerque Housing Authority: Federal Section 8 money safe for now
January 08, 2019 10:19 PM
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Many are concerned with how the government shutdown will impact them, including the nearly 4,000 people in Albuquerque in Section 8.
Linda Bridge, the AHA’s Executive Director, can put so many people’s worries to rest for now.
“We received our HUD funding for Section 8 and public housing programs for January and we’ve been told by HUD that we’ll receive it for February as well,” Bridge said.
Bridge said the AHA also has money saved to keep people housed for another couple months beyond that. But once that’s gone, who knows what will happen.
