HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - Governor Kay Ivey is awarding more than $22 million to help Alabamians who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The city of Huntsville is getting $1.8 million to help the growing crisis.
Homelessness is something Huntsville city leaders have been talking about for some time now, and they hope the portion of money they get from Governor Ivey will mean no one else is left on the streets.
