Northam budget to include funding to increase financial aid, affordable housing, reduce eviction levels

(RECAP: The governor’s proposed budget allocates an addition $19 million over the biennium to the Housing Trust Fund, which will enable it to increase its capacity to address homelessness and expand the supply of quality, affordable housing. The Housing Trust Fund is critical to assisting local and regional efforts to address the high-cost burden of housing. This is one-time funding to increase the Housing Trust Fund to a total of $20 million in FY2019 and a total of $10 million in FY2020.)
