AMBRIDGE, June 9 – New funding of $550,000 will strengthen housing stability for low-income residents in Beaver County, state Rep. Rob Matzie announced today. Matzie, D-Beaver, said the funding awarded by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency will support home renovation and remediation work and financial counseling and education, among other projects.
“Safe housing gives folks the foundation they need to find employment, care for themselves and their families, and put down community roots. It’s a springboard to economic stability. Securing this funding is going to allow more folks to stay in their homes, find sustainable housing and receive the services they need to become self-sufficient. When that happens, we all win.”
Matzie said the funding – which comes from the Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement Fund – includes:
Money for PHARE grants comes from Realty Transfer taxes and Marcellus Shale impact fees.
