The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) is awarding $2 million to Worcester Community Housing Resources, Inc., (WCHR) as part of its relaunch of the Receivership Expense Assistance for Creating Housing (REACH) program. The program will help facilitate the rehabilitation of blighted residential properties with enhanced provisions to encourage the creation of affordable housing units in communities across the Commonwealth.
“The REACH program is an important tool in addressing our affordable housing crisis, offering critical funding that brings abandoned and blighted properties back into use,” said AG Campbell. “I am proud to announce Worcester Community Housing Resources as the administrator of this program and am confident that with their partnership we will be able to expand housing opportunities and make our neighborhoods safer, more beautiful places to live.”
