(Aug 21, 2013 Posted by Sarah Maurer) Some families living in the Fillmore Corridor will be receiving some much-needed upgrades to their homes, thanks to a recent grant from the New York State Affordable Housing Corporation.
Broadway-Fillmore Neighborhood Housing Services (BFNHS) hosted a press conference Friday with Senator Tim Kennedy and Assemblywoman Crystal Peoples-Stokes to announce that $200,000 had been allocated to help 20 income-eligible homeowners make repairs to their houses. The M&T Foundation also awarded BFNHS a $20,000 grant to allow the organization to build its capacity in order to implement the AHC grant. Two new staff members have been brought in to provide specification writing for the AHC grant and to manage BFNHS’ special projects and existing programs.
