La congresista Alma Adams (Representante demócrata del distrito 12 de Carolina del Norte) está pidiendo más cupones federales Housing Choice para ayudar a las personas a encontrar lugares para vivir.

A nivel federal, vamos a tener que ampliar el programa, para que pueda expandirse en ciudades como Charlotte, dijo. Charlotte no puede emitir cupones que no tiene.

Su llamado a la acción sigue a una investigación de NBC Charlotte que descubrió que el gobierno federal ha brindado mucha menos ayuda para el pago del alquiler a personas en Charlotte, en comparación con otras ciudades, incluidas ciudades del mismo tamaño y más pequeñas.

“Siempre me siento frustrada al ver que tenemos personas que no tienen lugares donde vivir, que sin duda merecen tener un lugar decente y económico”, aseguró la representante Adams.

The collaborative is supported by $150,000 from the John S. and James L.
