U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright on Monday said the work our local governments do to support affordable housing is invaluable, and this support from the federal level will help that work continue.

Cartwright, D-Moosic, a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, announced that more than $17 million is coming back to the region to help build, renovate and modernize public housing across Northeast Pennsylvania.

“These funds will keep our neighborhoods strong and ensure vulnerable residents, including the elderly and those with disabilities, will have a safe place to call home,” Cartwright said.

The grants, provided through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Capital Fund Program, offer annual funding to all public housing authorities across the country.
