AUGUSTA, Maine - The Maine State Housing Authority has received a $3 million grant from the National Housing Trust fund and is seeking comments on how the money should be spent.
"Obviously, this isn't a lot of money, you know, so it's only going to be able to fund so many units," says Greg Payne, executive director of the Maine Affordable Housing Coalition, "and so I think it does put a premium on efficiency and leveraging."
The Housing Authority held a listening session as it prepares a plan on how to use the funds. That plan is due in July and there will be a formal public hearing before it can be adopted and the money spent.
