Lighthouse of Oakland County

In Fiscal Year 2003, I secured a $225,000 grant for Lighthouse of Oakland County that they used to increase the stock of affordable housing in Pontiac.   

Lighthouse of Oakland County helps with community development and revitalization through the construction of new homes, house repairs, and valuable community services for low-income families.  The federal funds would be used for land and home acquisition, infrastructure preparation, home restoration, and housing subsidies. 

Lighthouse is one of the outstanding organizations in Oakland County, and its work affects the lives of countless residents of Pontiac.  I am pleased that my colleagues in Congress saw the value, as I did, of assisting Lighthouse in its mission to provide affordable housing.
