Housing authorities receive funding
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded more than $5.4 million to public housing authorities in Maine, including agencies in Fort Fairfield and Presque Isle.
The grants are provided through HUD’s Capital Fund Program, which offers annual funding to approximately 3,100 public housing authorities to build, repair, renovate and/or modernize the public housing in their communities. These housing authorities use the funding to do large-scale improvements such as replacing roofs or making energy-efficient upgrades to replace old plumbing and electrical systems.
Locally, the Fort Fairfield Housing Authority will receive $106,202, while the Presque Isle Housing Authority will get $277,005.
