Grambling, Louisiana
GRAMBLING, February 12, 2008 – USDA Rural Development State Director
Clyde C. Holloway presented the City of Grambling $135,028 in
Housing Preservation Grant funds during ceremonies in Grambling.
The city will use these funds to assist low-income homeowners to
repair and rehabilitate their homes.
"This is the second year I have visited
Mayor Andrus to present Housing Preservation Grant funds—and the
third year Grambling has been awarded this grant,” said Holloway.
“Through this grant, Rural Development is helping people who need to
make critical repairs to their homes, but lack the money to do so.”
USDA’s Rural Development provides
financial assistance to sponsoring organizations, such as the City
of Grambling, to assist in the repair and/or rehabilitation of
single-family and rental residences located in rural communities. Sponsors
who administer the grant funds can include state agencies, units of
local government, Native American tribes, and nonprofit
organizations. |
