Homeless vets get help
Santa Cruz County was awarded 25 rental vouchers for homeless veterans by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The vouchers, combined with some the county received earlier, will help as many as 60 homeless veterans in Santa Cruz County.
Voucher holders will pay 30 percent of their adjusted gross monthly income in rent, and the housing authority will pay the remainder on a market-rate rental unit. According to the county, market rates for apartments in the county average $826 for a studio, $1,001 for a one-bedroom and $1,292 for a two-bedroom.
