Lake County is gearing up for a significant housing opportunity with the announcement of a Phase 2 lottery for 24 new units at Dupont on West Third Street. This initiative aims to address the ongoing housing demand in the region, with applications opening soon.
The application deadline for interested buyers is set for June 13, 2025. Following this, an appeal process will be in place for those who may face qualification denials, with requests due by July 11. The lottery itself is scheduled for July 23, providing a structured timeline for potential homeowners.
During the meeting, officials confirmed that the housing authority will manage the appeals process, streamlining the procedure for applicants. The committee expressed optimism about the upcoming lottery, noting that 178 individuals have already shown interest in the project, although no applications have been submitted yet.
To boost participation, a media and social media campaign will be launched to encourage more applicants. The urgency is palpable, as the housing authority hopes to secure buyers for all units before finalizing contracts with the construction company, Oakwood. The success of this lottery could significantly impact Lake County's housing landscape, making it a pivotal moment for the community.
