NorCo, Easton Team Up For Affordable Housing

Northampton County and Easton have teamed up to seek more federal funding for affordable housing. On Thursday night, Northampton county council voted unanimously (9-0) to form a consortium council. Together, they will be able to tap into more money to build, buy or rehab affordable housing for low-income residents. In addition, there are rent assistance, homelessness assistance and other worthwhile programs.

“I’d like to congratulation Northampton County’s Department of Economic and Community Development for their assistance in putting together this partnership with the City of Easton,” said County Executive Lamont McClure. “We want every resident of Northampton to be happy and successful and it’s hard to do that when you don’t have a safe place to call home. We believe this collaboration with Easton will go a long way in helping our citizens find and keep affordable housing.”

    How you provide Subidized housing without control? Let’s do back planning. What and who are they looking to subsidize,and why’? Go to - - Nashua N.H. And look at that project. It was a model to follow. Bernie, who are they look n to subsidize?

    I'm not sure what point you are trying to make or why you cite Nashua with zero explanation, making yourself unclear. Also, why on earth would you assume there are no controls on a HUD housing grant? Ask people in DCED whether there are no controls.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
