Gaston County accepts $165,000 housing-rehabilitation grant to aid elderly and veterans
Summary
The Gaston County Board accepted a $165,000 grant from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency to support its housing rehabilitation program, which the county says has rehabilitated 115 homes locally and helped more than 20,000 homeowners statewide through the program's history.
Adam Gobb, Gaston County communications director, said the board accepted a $165,000 grant from the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency to support the county's housing rehabilitation department.
Gobb said the program helps elderly residents, veterans, single parents and people with disabilities who need urgent home repairs. "Since the program began, Gaston County has rehabbed 115 homes, and more than 20,000 homeowners across North Carolina have received help through this program," he said in the summary narration. The grant acceptance was described as an example of a consent-agenda item in the meeting summary; the narrated video did not provide the formal motion text or vote totals.
County officials said the funding will help the housing rehabilitation program continue repairs and safety upgrades for eligible households; the transcript summary did not list a specific implementation timeline or the distribution of the $165,000 among projects.
