CHAMBERSBURG– Luminest Community Development is excited to announce it is moving forward with the renovation of eight apartments in Downtown Chambersburg. The project is being made possible through a HOME grant of $1,518,270 from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) which was announced earlier this week, as well as funding from the Franklin County Commissioners.
“We look forward to working with the Borough on another improvement project,” said Dave Keller, Executive Director for Luminest. “This program will continue our mission – Dedicated to Building Stronger Neighborhoods, Better Homes and Brighter Futures.”
DCED Secretary Rick Siger recently announced the distribution statewide of $12.2 million in HOME funds to support affordable housing in 20 Counties. “Every Pennsylvanian should have safe, affordable places to call home – places that will build and strengthen communities,” said Sec. Siger. “The HOME funding approved will not only give individuals across the Commonwealth up-to-code and accessible spaces to live but will revitalize communities by upgrading many existing homes and providing several renter and new homeowner opportunities.”
