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.
