The Connecting Housing to Infrastructure Program (CHIP) grant will provide $185,352 in grant funds to the City of Yakima to financially assist Rod's House by covering sewer, water, stormwater improvements and system development charges for a new affordable housing project. The project will develop 12 studio units that will house youth in Yakima experiencing homelessness. This grant award consists of two separate contracts.
The first contract is for waived system development charges, and will be funded through the State Building Construction Account.
The second contract is for utility infrastructure improvements, and will be funded through the State's allocation of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) from the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) stimulus funding provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (US Treasury). |
