N.J. Communities to get revitalization money

Thanks to New Jersey’s two U.S. Senators, Lautenberg and Menendez,

counties and municipalities across New Jersey will receive $24,195,998 for various housing and community revitalization programs. The grants, administered through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), are part of four initiatives: The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the HOME Investment Partnership, the Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) program, and the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) program.

The grant money will be made available through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

According to a press release issued by Senator Lautenberg’s office,

The CDBG and HOME programs provide funding to develop decent and affordable housing, enhance infrastructure and develop economic opportunities primarily in communities with large populations of low and moderate-income families.  HOPWA funding provides housing assistance and related support services to meet the special needs of people with HIV and AIDS.  The ESG program provides homeless people with basic shelter and other services.

  Let's hope there's more money coming for New Jersey's struggling communities.
