Board approves four Habitat for Humanity home contracts using HOME funds
Summary
The board approved four separate contracts with Habitat for Humanity to build homes in the Industry neighborhood, awarding HOME grants and development fees; staff said buyers must be at or below 80% of area median income.
The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety unanimously approved four contracts with Habitat for Humanity to support new construction in the Industry neighborhood. Community development staff presented hard construction costs and HOME grant awards for each house and said the federal and local HOME program dollars will subsidize portions of the construction.
“They're gonna build 10 houses. We're supporting them in 4 of them,” said Gretchen Cheeseman, community development director, listing specific projects and awards, including a $50,000 HOME grant (with a $5,000 development fee) for the 825 South Wolfe property and similar grants for other addresses. Cheeseman said eligible buyers must be at or below 80% of area median income; the board approved a blanket motion to accept all four contracts.
