WEST VIRGINIA (WOAY) – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) announced today $18,840,000 in grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to localities in West Virginia to aid in the COVID-19 response efforts.
“We are working across all levels of government to deliver funding to help West Virginia respond to COVID-19,” said Congresswoman Miller. “These grants will provide important resources for our vulnerable populations, directly at the community level. We are all in this fight together against a single common enemy, working to reduce the spread of the virus and provide relief for all West Virginians impacted by the crisis.”
