The University District Development Corporation received a grant fromthe Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, Texas (FHLB) to help withhousing improvements.
The FHLB provided $18,000 to match $6,000 contributed by First
Security, Simmons, and Summit Banks.
This program will provide grants to assist in “market rate” housing
and is not limited to income or other restrictions. This will include
design, title work, and filing fees, not just construction cost for
property development and redevelopment.
Mr. James Taylor of Broadmoor is featured in a KTHV report. He is a
2011 SNAP Grant recipient (roof replacement). See the interview here:
