A monthly subsidy for a Chattanooga public housing complex was paid Monday, after a delay caused by the ongoing federal government shutdown.

The nearly $49,000 helps subsidize rents for the 136 units at Dogwood Manor, according to the Chattanooga Housing Authority.

Tenants at the building were not affected by the delay, housing authority officials said.

Last week, the housing authority’s finance director told board members that the monthly payment for November hadn’t gone through, since the federal contract for Dogwood Manor needed to be renewed this month.
