Funding Announced to Modernize and Preserve the State's Public Housing Stock 

Up to $27 million in grants will be awarded for housing authority improvements

Friday, December 13, 2013 – The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) today announced a new initiative, the High Leverage Asset Preservation Program (HILAPP), that will support the comprehensive modernization and preservation of the state’s public housing stock. The Program will provide competitively bid grants to local housing authorities that are able to secure matching funds from local and or other non-DHCD sources.

“Affordable public housing is in high demand across the state,” said Housing and Community Development Undersecretary Aaron Gornstein. “These funds will not only ensure that current residents live in healthy and safe environments, but that the developments are upgraded so they will last for years to come.”
