HOUSING REPAIRS
MONTEREY COUNTY — U.S. Reps. Zoe Lofgren and Jimmy Panetta have announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will distribute $300,000 to the Community Housing Improvement Systems and Planning Association Inc. (CHISPA) to support repairs of multi-family homes for rural, low-income families in Monterey County. “Everyone should have a safe space to live, and this important funding will help improve existing housing infrastructure in Monterey County. We’re glad to support federal investments that help uplift and protect underserved communities,” said Reps. Lofgren and Panetta. This funding comes from USDA’s Housing Preservation Grants, which supports the repair or rehabilitation of housing owned or occupied by rural, low-income residents. The USDA funding was provided by the FY23 consolidated appropriations package.
