Grand Rapids Ineligable For ROAD to Housing Act Funds due to low housing costs?
The Build Now Act uses an existing stream of federal funding for larger local governments, Community Development Block Grants, to reward localities that improve their net housing growth rate over the course of a decade, and penalize those that worsen their growth rate. The amounts of money in play are modest: the median grant is less than $1 million per year, and the penalty is 10%.
Will be interesting to see how this shakes out. Probably best to keep expectations related to the ROAD to Housing act on the low side.
