The Burlington County Commissioners approved the creation of a new grant program to support the development of much-needed affordable housing in the county.
The Board voted Wednesday to appropriate $3 million of the County’s federal American Rescue Plan Act allocation to fund the new Burlington County Affordable Housing Grant Program. Nonprofit organizations will be eligible to apply for a grant to support efforts to develop new affordable housing units within the county, including special populations such as families experiencing homelessness, housing instability or escaping a domestic violence situation.
“Burlington County is a premier destination where families want to live and businesses want to be, and a major reason why is our affordability,” said Burlington County Commissioner Dan O’Connell. “We want all residents to be able to live securely and benefit from our county’s great schools, job opportunities, parks and overall quality of life, so taking action to support affordable housing is key.”
