Union City backs Erie County plan to develop recommendations for quality and affordable housing
Summary
Union City council approved a resolution supporting Erie County's new countywide comprehensive housing plan, which will use MAP grant funds and Act 137 deed‑transfer funds; several borough residents have applied for Act 137 assistance.
The Union City Borough Council voted Sept. 16 to approve a resolution supporting Erie County's effort to prepare a countywide comprehensive housing plan. The plan will use funding from a MAP grant and Act 137 (Affordable Housing Act) funds generated from housing deed transfers, the minutes say.
Councilors said the primary goal of the county plan is "to develop recommendations that will improve both quality and affordable housing in Erie County." The minutes note that several Union City residents have applied for Act 137 funds, which are income‑based. The resolution was moved by Councilor Osborn, seconded by Councilor Steadman, and carried unanimously.
