The objective of the HPG program is to repair or rehabilitate individual housing, rental properties, or co-ops owned and/or occupied by very low- and low-income rural persons. Grantees will provide eligible homeowners, owners of rental properties, and owners of co-ops with financial assistance through loans, grants, interest reduction payments or other comparable financial assistance for necessary repairs and rehabilitation. Further, individual housing that is owner occupied may qualify for replacement housing when it is determined by the grantee that the housing is not economically feasible for repair or rehabilitation, except as specified in 1944.659.

The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944, brought together the land, air, and sea forces of the allied armies in what became known as the largest amphibious invasion in military history. The operation, given the codename OVERLORD, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy, France. The beaches were given the code names UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, and SWORD. The invasion force included 7,000 ships and landing craft manned by over 195,000 naval personnel from eight allied countries. Almost 133,000 troops from the United States, the British Commonwealth, and their allies, landed on D-Day. Casualties from these countries during the landing numbered 10,300. By June 30, over 850,000 men, 148,000 vehicles, and 570,000 tons of supplies had landed on the Normandy shores. Fighting by the brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the allied forces western front, and Russian forces on the eastern front, led to the defeat of German Nazi forces. On May 7, 1945, German General Alfred Jodl signed an unconditional surrender at Reims, France.
General Eisenhower's determination that operation OVERLORD (the invasion of France) would bring a quick end to the war is obvious in this message to the troops of the Allied Expeditionary Forces on June 6, 1944, the morning of the invasion.

The Slovak National Uprising, though still relatively unknown outside of Slovakia, was the second-largest anti-fascist uprising in Europe during the World War II, constituting more than 80,000 fighters from more than 30 countries, including Ukrainians, Czechs, Poles, Hungarians, Yugoslavs, and others. The uprising took place for six weeks from August 29 until October 27, 1944, though partisans continued to fight even after they retreated to the mountains.
The German military clearly possessed more technologically advanced weaponry, including 90 tanks, as well as a better-trained force of roughly 50,000 soldiers. Two motorized outfits crossed the Slovak border and headed to Žilina, a large town in central Slovakia. Unit Olen crossed through Púchov and Unit Jung through Čadca at roughly 15:00 on August 29, 1944.
Furthermore, the army consisted mainly of reservists who did not possess sufficient training and had almost no combat experience. Some historians have also pointed out that the Slovak army used training methods and regulations of the prewar Czechoslovak armies that were hopelessly obsolete by 1944. The soldiers did not perform exercises on a larger scale; training was done only in small units. The officer corps was also inexperienced, so firm command of units was nearly impossible.
Although most of the equipment in the Slovak army was modern in 1938, it was already outdated by 1944. There was a lack of specialized antitank and antiaircraft weapons, and very few units were modern enough. Cannons were mostly pulled by horses; losses of some ammunition depots also led to ammunition shortages in the later phases of the uprising. The United States and the Soviet Union sent aid, weapons, ammunition, and medicine to the Tri Duby airport near Sliač in September and October 1944, but they were limited to light weapons. In addition, the food supply was poorly organized, leading to shortages.
By the end of October 1944, the Germans suppressed the uprising and occupied the country. The failed Slovak National Uprising brought murderous consequences to several groups in Slovakia. Many partisans and their family members were hanged for their participation. Villages suspected of collaboration with the insurgent army were burned down and destroyed, and many people were murdered by Slovak Hlinka Guards and German military personnel. The data on the number of people murdered by the Germans and their collaborators on the Slovak territory from September 1944 to March 1945 ranges between 4,000 to 5,300 people. More than 100 villages were destroyed in retaliation, including Čierny Balog, Kalište, Baláže, Tokajík, Telgárt, and Kremnička.

The Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire.On July 1, 1944, as the battles of the Second World War raged in Europe and the Pacific, delegates from forty-four nations met at the secluded Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire to participate in what became known as the Bretton Woods Conference. Their purpose was to agree on a system of economic order and international cooperation that would help countries recover from the devastation of the war and foster long-term global growth. At its conclusion, the conference attendees produced the Articles of Agreement for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
It is likely that there were other such small scale truces, or at least tacit agreements between local American and German units to refrain from attacks and firing on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, perhaps in Italy in 1943 or in quieter parts of the line in 1944, but this is the only documented case currently known.
