Summary
Susquehanna County commissioners approved a $500,000 Fair Funding application by the Susquehanna County Housing Redevelopment Authority (SCHRA) for new affordable units and authorized cooperative agreements and two Treehab Fair Fund applications totaling $270,000 for homebuyer and rental assistance programs.
The Susquehanna County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of housing measures including a $500,000 Fair Funding application by the Susquehanna County Housing Redevelopment Authority (SCHRA) to support new construction of affordable housing in Gray Bend Borough.
Separately, the board approved a cooperative agreement with SCHRA for administration of the FAIR program and approved two Fair Fund applications submitted by Treehab: $145,000 for a homebuyer down‑payment/closing‑cost assistance and home renovation program and $125,000 for rental and utility assistance.
Commissioners approved the SCHRA application and the Treehab applications by voice vote without recorded opposition. The measures were described in agenda items 8 through 11 and were presented to the board as part of routine grant‑application and program administration steps.
The actions do not appropriate county funds; they authorize applications and cooperative administration arrangements that, if awarded, would fund programming through SCHRA and Treehab.
