From the City of Denver's press release:

From WHYY Philadelphia:

The Ruth L. Bennett Homes, with 261 family units, is the largest federally subsidized public housing development in Chester. The homes, which require tenants to make less than a certain amount to reside there, already serve a vulnerable population. When the pandemic struck, they faced further financial hardships, and keeping food on the table became a challenge.

From the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh's press release:

In 2016, representatives of the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh (HACP) began working with representatives of a start-up nonprofit organization to help address food insecurity in public housing. They didn’t know it at the time, but their partnership would end up connecting thousands of low-income families with regular access to fresh, healthy food while creating a national model for food rescue and delivery services.

Prompted by suggestions from CLPHA on the need to provide guidance to PHAs on ensuring access to vaccinations for residents and staff, HUD will host a series of webinars in April focused on vaccine access. The second webinar on April 21 will feature a presentation from the Housing Authority of the City of Austin on their efforts to help their residents access vaccines. 

From the Administration for Community Living (ACL) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS):

Thursday, April 22, 3:00 - 4:30 pm ET

Register for the webinar.

From the Municipal Housing Authority of the City of Yonkers' press release:

With vaccination rates lagging behind in many communities of color, the Municipal Housing Authority for the City of Yonkers (MHACY) has launched a campaign to allay fears and encourage its residents to get the vaccine.

From the Chicago Tribune:

For the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, dozens of people gathered in the community room at a public housing building for senior citizens in South Chicago.

The room had been turned into a COVID-19 vaccination clinic and each of them patiently waited to get their first dose of the vaccine.
