The Commonwealth Finance Agency,, a board comprised of four legislative and three administrative appointees, doles out gaming revenue received under Pa's Race Horse Development Act to support projects "in the public interest." It awarded $263 million for 843 projects at its May 16 meeting. I will tell you about grants awarded in Lehigh and Northampton County next week. One of these grants ($200,000) is for workforce housing at the former Glendon Hotel.
The county plans to build five 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom town houses at this site. It is also seeking grants . through Pennsylvania HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and federal HOME entitlement funds.

There is no such thing as a grant, simply money forcibly redistributed from those to earn it to those who don't.
You got that right.
Hah, 5:26 PM, don't you know money grows on trees? Or the latest spin, "Well, somebody is gonna get it, why shouldn't we? Government should not build houses.
What the hell are they doing in the housing business, just another opportunity for graft.
I deleted two completely OT comments.
Authority's, board's, and excetra must have solvency grants are just not enough?
