Former Public Safety Director of St. Louis and current HUD secretary announced the release of nearly $1.8 billion in efforts to promote affordable housing and ownership all around the United State in his former stomping grounds of St. Louis.

Alphonso Jackson, the nation’s housing chief, held the press conference at City Hall to announce the current efforts of the Housing and Urban Development. He once served the city as the public safety director and also as the head of the St. Louis Housing Authority.

The funds of $1.75 billion will be used to build affordable housing and help many first-time homeowners with expenses such as closing costs and down payments. The city of St. Louis will reportedly receive more than $4.2 million dollars.
