LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) – With uncertainty surrounding the federal budget, the City of Lima is making the most of every federal dollar to ensure equitable growth throughout the community.
Lima City Council recently approved a series of ordinances authorizing the allocation of federal HOME and Community Development Block Grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, known as HUD. The funding will support a wide range of housing and neighborhood improvement projects, youth programs and essential services that benefit residents with low to moderate incomes.
Six local organizations received a combined total of nearly $182,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds.
HOME allocations were also distributed to six programs, totaling more than $207,000. The funding will help strengthen neighborhoods, improve housing stability and expand opportunities for Lima residents.
