Good afternoon and thanks for joining us, Catherine Ross has the weekend off. Securing a place to live has been a growing problem for many individuals and families throughout the area- and members of Minot's Housing Authority say the problem will continue to grow, as long as the cost of rent does the same. Each year, the Housing Authority provides rental assistance to hundreds of low income families. Executive Director, Tom Pearson, says as the number of people asking for help and the cost of living has increased, their ability to provide assistance has greatly decreased. A majority of their funding comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Pearson says many communities are facing this same dilemma. HUD is currently conducting a survey to determine where fair market rent should be set for our community. Pearson hopes their results will be positive for Minot and its surrounding area. (Tom Pearson, Minot Housing Authority) "As federal programs are being cut, dollars are getting tougher and you're gonna be taking money from one community to put into another, somebody else is going to lose money, and that normally does not happen. But it's going to be an interesting process, we will try to get more dollars coming into our community, but there's no guarantee that we're going to see that." The Minot Housing Authority currently serves over 740 individuals through their rental assistance program, but Pearson says if current trends continue, that number could drop to around 720 by the end of 2010.
