Officials from Chester County held a public hearing on June 25 in West Goshen to update the public on its plans relating to community programs designed to assist municipalities and residents experiencing housing insecurity. The county Department of Community Development is in the third year of its five-year plan to distribute funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. A draft version of its 2025 action plan is available here. The plan is a blueprint on how to disperse the funds, with project amounts for $2.47 million for Community Development Block grants, $970,000 in HOME Investment Partnerships and $224,000 in emergency shelter grants. The funds go toward items ranging from street improvements in Phoenixville, to a shelter in Coatesville, to family emergency housing in West Chester, and affordable apartments for seniors on the Main Line. The funds are broken down into affordable housing initiatives, community construction and public works, and public services.
