THE CITY OF FULTON AWARDED A $377,500 NYS CDBG GRANT

 

The City of Fulton is proud to announce it has been awarded a grant from the New York State Housing Trust Fund, through the Office for Community Renewal, to continue the efforts to Promote Affordable Housing within the City. The total funding of $377,500 will help complete the efforts for the Phillips Street Project. This will include the last phase of 4 Single-Family Homes to be constructed on that site. This funding shall also continue the efforts for First Time Homebuyers in the City of Fulton, and will help address the Housing Rehabilitation of some of the worst properties identified in the City by local officials. All of these efforts strongly promote Neighborhood Revitalization and Community Stabilization.

“This funding is crucial to complete many of the projects currently underway within the City of Fulton”, said Joseph Fiumara, Executive Director of the Fulton Community Development Agency. “I must commend my staff for the hard work involved with this funding application; we worked very hard to demonstrate the need for these activities. This funding really comes at an important time when we can use a boost to our local economy. This funding will seed not only Affordable Housing, but also expands on Construction and Housing Services Jobs.”
