SELECTION OF PROPOSAL

The Longview Housing Authority (LHA) has selected a proposal for a low-income project in Longview, Washington to be subsidized through the Section 8 Project Based Voucher Rent Assistance Program, as outlined in 24 CFR 983. The selected proposal was submitted by Longview Housing Authority development staff. LHA will proceed with an application to HUD requesting attachment of 16 Housing Choice Vouchers to an existing project in the City of Longview, Washington. A copy of the application and selection criteria can be viewed at Longview Housing Authority business office.



Veterans

Longview Housing Authority has implemented the Veteran's Integration Program (VIP) for homeless veterans. The program consists of several levels of help including housing, casemanagement and employment. The VIP has also created a Veteran's Resource website so that veterans can find resources available in SW Washington. This website, VetSource.org ,lists all of the service providers in Cowlitz, Wahkiakum, Pacific and Lewis counties that a veteran might be in need of. The resources are listed by county and by resource and there is also a search feature on the site. So whether you are looking for food, clothing or a Veteran Service Office, look at VetSource.org first.
The VIP tab can be found on the above menu under Housing Services/Veterans or
under this VIP link.
