This federal funding program supports activities that maintain or improve existing housing and provide infrastructure supporting housing development for low- and moderate-income persons. Its focus is repairing substandard housing and improving infrastructure in needy areas of the two counties.
Eligible housing activities include rehabilitation, demolition, and housing code enforcement.
