Mayor Ashley Swearengin announced on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, that a $275,518 federal grant had been awarded to the Fresno Housing Authority in order to provide permanent housing and other supportive services for 50 homeless veterans in the Fresno area.

This grant aligns perfectly with that effort and allows us to help veterans who have made such incredible sacrifices for our country.”
