Union City backs Erie County comprehensive housing plan using MAP and Act 137 funds
Summary
Council approved a resolution supporting Erie County's effort to develop a countywide comprehensive housing plan, which will use MAP grant funding and Act 137 deed-transfer funds to improve housing quality and affordability.
Union City Borough Council approved a resolution Sept. 16 supporting Erie County’s effort to develop a countywide comprehensive housing plan.
The resolution notes the plan’s primary goal is to develop recommendations to improve both quality and affordable housing in Erie County and that planning will use MAP grant funding and Act 137 (Affordable Housing Act) funds, which come from housing deed transfers. Council members said several borough residents had submitted applications for Act 137 funds that are income‑based.
Councilor Osborn moved to approve the resolution; Councilor Steadman seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The resolution signals municipal support for county planning but does not commit borough funds.
