City of Harrisburg's HUD Program - An Update: Recipients are still waiting on their funds

Click to View

Part IV. As of September 7th, the Harrisburg's HUD Community Development Block Grant program is still stalled with last year's recipients approaching a one year wait to access the grants they were awarded in 2011. Two weeks ago, City Councilor Susan Brown Wilson vehemently questioned Director of Building & Housing Jack Robinson about the delay, and while he gave no response, Mayor Linda Thompson reacted by having a press conference the next day to applaud the City's HUD program and congratulate this year's recipients.

However, with the program at a standstill, it waits to be seen if the fresh group of awardees will be able to access their grants when the time comes next month.
