Union City backs Erie County comprehensive housing plan using MAP grant and Act 137 funds
Summary
Council approved a resolution supporting an Erie County countywide housing plan that will use MAP grant funding and Act 137 deed-transfer funds; Council noted local residents had applied for Act 137 assistance based on income.
Union City Borough Council voted Sept. 16 to approve a resolution supporting Erie County’s effort to develop a countywide comprehensive housing plan. The resolution states the plan’s primary goal is to develop recommendations to improve housing quality and affordability countywide, with funding drawn from a MAP grant and Act 137 (Affordable Housing Act) deed-transfer funds.
Councilor Osborn, who seconded and supported the motion, noted that several borough residents had submitted applications for Act 137 funds based on income. The motion to approve the resolution carried unanimously. The meeting record does not specify how much, if any, Act 137 money would be directed to Union City projects; the resolution commits only the borough’s support for the county planning process.
