Senator Murray Applauds Investment in Affordable Housing for Washington State

(Washington, D.C.) – Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray
(D-WA) applauded the announcement made by NeighborWorks America that over
$500,000 will be awarded to three Washington state community-based
organizations to rehabilitate affordable housing. These grants will help
communities restore affordable housing and create financing and lending tools
to assist communities that have been impacted by the economic recession and high
foreclosure rates. As Chair of the Transportation, Housing, and Urban
Development Appropriations Subcommittee, Senator Murray worked to include
funding for these grants in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2010.  

“Investing in our housing market will create jobs, put
families in quality and affordable homes, and get our economy moving again,”
said
Senator Murray.
“I will continue working hard to make affordable housing
accessible across our state and to make the dream of owning a home become a
reality for Washington state families.”
