Gov. Tom Wolf recently announced the approval of $5 million in Keystone Communities Program grant funding for 41 revitalization projects in 21 Pennsylvania counties. In Bucks County, Habitat for Humanity is receiving $150,000 for its Home Repair Program.
“The Keystone Communities Program helps Pennsylvania’s towns and cities enhance their quality of life to the benefit of residents, visitors and businesses alike,” said Wolf. “The program is flexible enough to serve the needs of any municipality – whether they’re aiming to improve their downtown, rehabilitate buildings, or create new housing or community gathering spaces.”
As part of its Home Repair Program, Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County partners with homeowners to complete affordable interior and exterior home repairs and modifications that increase the safety, accessibility, condition and livability of the home.
“At DCED, we often say that Pennsylvania is the best place to live, work and play, and the Keystone Communities funding approved today will help ensure that adage holds true for years to come,” said Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Dennis Davin. “Continued investments in our communities is so critical to the health and vibrancy of our commonwealth, and we look forward to seeing these projects come to fruition.”
The Keystone Communities program is designed to encourage the creation of partnerships between public and private sectors that jointly support local initiatives such as the growth and stability of neighborhoods and communities; social and economic diversity; and a strong and secure quality of life. The program allows communities to tailor assistance to meet the needs of specific revitalization efforts.
