The City proposes a total of $150,000 of unallocated PY 17, PY19, PY20 and PY21 federal funds to be allocated towards one new home rehabilitation activity. Activity will support rehabilitation, electrification and energy efficiency improvements to approximately 10 properties owned by Homes First.

The Homes First properties receiving these improvements will be within City limits.
