HUD grant set for Hilltop - Read entire article: TNT 09-17-2011
Almost $2 million in federal housing money is headed for Tacoma to help build a community center in the Hilltop neighborhood.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced the grant Friday. The Tacoma Housing Authority was one of just five agencies nationwide to receive part of an overall $14.5 million from a HUD program for education facilities.
Tacoma’s share of that money, $1,881,652, will be added to another $900,000 HUD grant and $114,000 from THA funds to build a facility near the Hillside Terrace public housing community. The building will be two stories and about 8,500 square feet. It will be used for early childhood education, adult education and job training.

National Housing Report on Linkage: Housing, Health, and Education
Research has shown that decent, affordable housing can...
... reduce health problems associated with exposure to allergens,
neurotoxins, and other dangers in the home by allowing families
to access better quality housing;
...increase residential stability, allowing families to avoid unwanted
moves that lead children to change schools, which may impair their
educational progress; and
...decrease residential crowding and other sources of housing-related
stress that lead to negative developmental and educational outcomes
for children.
