Summary
The city's $1.8 million grant program helped 76 first-generation homebuyers purchase homes before funding ran out. Reviving it would need new flexible funding, since state and federal dollars cap eligibility far below what the program served. Members want it on the state legislative agenda and possibly the city budget.
