The meeting will discuss the plan for overall appropriation of the 2020 grant for $789,126, as well as an analysis of the township’s impediments to fair housing choice.

Our strategic and equitable use of the CDBG is important. It’s usage directly impacts our most vulnerable residents and, in doing so, lifts our community as a whole. I hope you will explore more about the CDBG by clicking here or being in touch directly.
