The Southern Tier is set to receive $7.5 million in funding to bolster homeownership opportunities and support existing homeowners in the region.
Governor Kathy Hochul recently announced the allocation of grants aimed at aiding over a thousand households across New York State. These funds are designed to empower low- and moderate-income families by covering essential home repairs, making accessibility modifications, and implementing critical safety upgrades. Additionally, the program provides down payment assistance to help first-time buyers achieve the dream of homeownership.
In the Southern Tier alone, 144 housing units are slated to benefit from the initiative, bringing much-needed relief and opportunity to the local community. This investment marks a significant step in strengthening affordable housing options and improving the quality of life for residents.
