LIMA The case to spend $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant dollars on supportive family housing gained some backing during Lima City Council’s meeting of the whole Monday night.
Altogether, five councilors voiced support for the spending after seeking more details about the proposed project. Initially categorized as an isolation and quarantine facility, subsequent conversations have since laid out how a dozen social service agencies in the city are hoping to leverage the proposed $500,000 as seed money to create a 14- to 16-unit development to be used to support families in need.
