Warren Receives $1.5M in HUD Grants
WARREN, Ohio -- The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded more than $1.5 million in grants to the city of Warren, U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan announced Monday.
The funds include a $1.1 million Community Development Block Grant and a $443,687 Home Program grant. The CDBG program provides annual grants to develop urban communities by providing decent housing and suitable living environments; as well as, providing low and moderate income people expanded economic opportunities. The Home program funds housing programs in state and local communities with the goal of expanding the supply of decent and affordable housing for low and very low income families.
“This money will give our community safer, quality housing and expanded economic opportunities for our neighbors,” Ryan, D-13 Ohio, said in the statement announcing the grant awards. “It is important that we keep our cities and towns moving forward, but it is equally important that we do not leave those who need us most behind.”
