Patrick Announces Nearly $1M Grant For Worcester

WORCESTER (AP) ― Worcester is getting nearly $1 million in state money to help expand its stock of affordable housing.

Gov. Deval Patrick announced Thursday that the state was awarding a $760,000 grant to the Worcester East Side Community Development Corp. for the Bell Hill IV homeownership project.

Another $116,000 was given to the Main South Community Development Corp.'s Kilby Townhomes, on top of $104,000 to convert a finished project on Benefit Street into affordable rental housing.

The grant announcements follow another that allocated more than $200,000 to foreclosure education centers, statewide foreclosure prevention efforts and first-time homebuyer programs in Worcester.
