HUD Awards Millions To Illinois Housing Authorities

HUD

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded nearly $116 million to public housing authorities in Illinois.  The department says the funding will allow agencies to make major large-scale improvements to their public housing units.  The Rockford Housing Authority was awarded nearly $3 million, LaSalle County's authority 1.3 million, Aurora's a little more than $1 million, Freeport's nearly $675,000, Whiteside County's more than $429,000 and DeKalb's close to $395,000.

Guy's degrees are in music, and he spent a number of years as a classical host on WNIU. In fact, after nearly 20 years with Northern Public Radio, the best description of his job may be "other duties as required."
