In an unprecedented second funding round for 2008, the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal is seeking applications for $37.5 million in grants and loans available under the Housing Trust Fund Program, the Urban Initiatives Program, the Rural Area Revitalization Program, and the RESTORE program. Applications will be available online by August 15 and will be due on October 2. The second round is made possible by the historic increase in housing funding approved by the Governor and the Legislature in April.
