Blair County allocates $50,000 to code-compliance repair assistance from Affordable Housing Trust Fund
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved an additional $50,000 from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to the Code Compliance Repair Assistance Program; the fund is financed by deed-recording fees, officials said.
The Blair County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 25 approved allocating $50,000 from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to the county’s Code Compliance Repair Assistance Program.
County staff told the board the Affordable Housing Trust Fund is financed by fees collected through the recording of deeds. The board had previously allocated an initial $50,000 to the program and has used that funding; the newly approved allocation replenishes the program.
Commissioners approved the allocation by voice vote; the meeting record shows “Aye.” The program and its funding source were described during the staff presentation; the board did not discuss program eligibility criteria or the number of households expected to receive assistance at this meeting.
The board’s action is intended to continue financing repairs that bring housing into code compliance, county staff said. No additional implementation schedule or reporting timeline was provided in the meeting record.
