North Texas received more than $25 million in federal stimulus funds last fall to move homeless people into apartments and prevent others from losing their homes because of the tough economy.
But so far, only a fraction of the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program money – about $2 million – has been spent, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees the program. The amount may be slightly higher because of a lag time for reporting the expenditures to the federal government.
