An $86,000 federal grant will pay for a city of Mesa coordinator who helps families receiving housing assistance through a voucher program.
The Mesa Housing Services Governing Board, which is comprised of City Council members, voted unanimously recently to approve a resolution authorizing the city manager to accept the renewal of the family self-sufficiency program grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The family self-sufficiency program for the city’s housing-voucher participants is a voluntary program, Mary Brandon, the city’s community services deputy director, said at the board’s April 13 meeting.
