- Benefit low and moderate income (LMI) persons or households;

- Address an urgent community need that threatens the health or welfare of residents.
Funding Information
For the FY 2024-25 year, an allocation of approximately $600,000 is anticipated to be made available from the grant award. The intent for the use of these funds is to serve the entire spectrum of housing needs including those who are currently experiencing homelessness, renters, homebuyers, and homeowners.
