ELMIRA, N.Y. ( WETM ) — The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced that it has taken actions to help some families in Elmira and Elmira Heights afford housing. According to HUD, recent rent increases have made it difficult for families who receive housing vouchers to use these vouchers to find safe and affordable housing. HUD publishes Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for metropolitan areas across the country every fiscal year and uses these numbers to calculate funding for vouchers and other housing assistance programs.
