Overview of HUD Homeless and Housing Programs
The links below provide overviews of HUD homeless and housing programs. Currently, HUD manages seven programs that directly combat homelessness, and it coordinates with the Department of Defense on the eighth program. In addition to these "targeted" programs, HUD also funds "mainstream" programs that can provide additional assistance to persons who are homeless. As contrasted with targeted programs, HUD's mainstream programs are not meant to exclusively serve homeless households. However, they are programs for which homeless persons are generally eligible because of their low-income or disability status.
