LUCAS COUNTY, OH (Toledo News Now) -
More housing projects will
soon be underway in the Toledo area, thanks to grant money received by local
non-profit organizations.
In all, six organizations
received a total of over $300,000 in grant money from the Toledo-Lucas County
Housing Fund and the Lucas County Land Bank.
They are: The Ability
Center of Greater Toledo (over $31,000), Friendship New Vision ($100,000),
Maumee Valley Habitat for Humanity ($72,000), 300 Beds (about $16,000), Lucas
Metropolitan Housing Authority ($100,000), and Neighborworks Toledo Region
(over $26,000).
There were 12 proposals

It's estimated this money
will help leverage over $10 million for housing in Toledo and Lucas County. The
funds will also be used as matches for federal and state grants.
