A trio of northeast Iowa organizations will share in almost $1.3 million in state funding to support local housing initiatives.
The Iowa Finance Authority Board of Directors Wednesday announced a total of more than $11 million in grants have been awarded to 26 Local Housing Trust Funds across the state. The grant awards are made available through the Local Housing Trust Fund program and are expected to assist almost 2,400 families.

Grant funds will be used for initiatives such as preserving aging housing stock, subsidizing local rental and down payment assistance programs, providing low-interest loans or grants to assist Iowans with home rehabilitation, financing construction of new single-family housing for low-income Iowans and supporting housing for persons with disabilities and homeless assistance programs.
