Union City backs Erie County plan to study housing quality and affordability
Summary
Council approved a resolution supporting Erie County's development of a new countywide comprehensive housing plan, citing MAP grant and Act 137 funds as potential sources.
Union City Borough Council voted unanimously on Sept. 16 to approve a resolution asking Erie County to complete a new countywide comprehensive housing plan aimed at improving housing quality and affordability. Councilor Osborn moved the resolution and Councilor Steadman seconded.
The resolution notes the county would use funding from a MAP grant and Act 137 (Affordable Housing Act) funds, which come from housing deed transfers. Council minutes record that several borough residents have applied for Act 137 funds based on income eligibility; councilors framed the resolution as supporting county-level planning that could expand affordable-housing recommendations.
The action is a policy-level endorsement rather than a funding commitment by the borough; the council’s vote was unanimous among members present.
