WHEELING Those in the Northern Panhandle with smaller incomes looking to buy their first home still have the opportunity for funding to help make that dream come true.
The Northern Panhandle Home Consortium has again been given a six-figure grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the 2021 fiscal year. Of the $305,207 the group has received, $228,000 will go to “eligible affordable housing activities,” Melissa Thompson, community development specialist for the city of Wheeling, said earlier this month.
Northern Panhandle residents with low to moderate incomes can get up $10,000 from the First-Time Homebuyer Program. That money can go toward a down payment and closing costs.
