Council Approves Grant Allocations
Nearly $700,000 in federal grant money has been approved for local housing rehabilitation projects, public improvements and services.
The City Council this week unanimously approved the funding, which comes from the federal Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant program.
The money will be divided among several nonprofit groups and city departments, including:
* $156,120 for the local Neighborhood Housing Service organization, which provides low-interest loans to low-income families so they can buy their first homes, help people rehabilitate run-down properties and run a neighborhood tutoring center.
* $69,700 for improvements of the Community Sports Field at Washington Middle School.
* $60,000 for the local Boys and Girls Club.
* $32,000 for improvements to the city’s mobile home park.
* $20,100 to help with senior citizen housing projects.
