EXPANDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
In this difficult economic climate, thousand of residents across the 7th Congressional District are relying on local agencies to provide quality, affordable housing for their families. These agencies are helping to restore pride in our neighborhoods and are working to create strong communities where families can thrive.
That is why I am proud to congratulate the Indianapolis Housing Agency (IHA), which this month was awarded four grants totaling over $15 million from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. These grants, which were a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will be used to revitalize local affordable housing communities and make units more energy efficient through the use of Energy Star appliances, high-efficiency boilers/furnaces and programmable thermostats or controls.
These grant announcements have provided a further reminder of the tremendous impact that the Recovery Act is having on our city. Not only will they help lift up these public housing communities, these grants will reduce energy consumption and spur local investment that creates and supports jobs for working-class Hoosiers.
The full list of awardees can be found here.
Thank you for reading the Carson Courier. Please do not hesitate to contact me with your thoughts and concerns. I value your views and your input which help me to better represent the people of
