Six cities in Alameda County will receive $12.8 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Six cities in Alameda County will receive millions of dollars in grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a U.S. representative’s office said.
A total of $12.8 million will be split among the cities of Oakland, Alameda, San Leandro, Albany, Emeryville and Piedmont, the office of Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, said.
Oakland will receive nearly $7 million under HUD’s Community Development Block Grant program while Albany, Emeryville and Piedmont will receive nearly $200,000.
The money will go toward jurisdictional and homeowner rehabilitation projects, according to Lee’s office.
Lee’s district will also receive $25,000 for fair housing counseling and tenant and landlord services in the cities receiving the grants.
Alameda and San Leandro will receive about $325,000 for projects that finance the construction of new affordable housing under HUD’s HOME Consortium program.
Oakland will receive another $2.1 million under the same program to address its housing crisis and $2.5 million to provide housing assistance to low-income individuals living with AIDS.
Lee’s office said two other grants totaling $709,106 will be used for rapid housing programs in Alameda, San Leandro and Oakland.
