- To improve public facilities to meet basic human needs, principally for low- to moderateincome persons;
- To improve housing conditions, principally for persons of low- to moderate-income;
- To expand economic opportunities by creating or retaining jobs, principally for low- to moderate-income persons; and
- To provide assistance and public facilities to eliminate conditions hazardous to the public health and of an emergency nature.
The Colonia Fund: Construction provides funding for water and wastewater improvements, housing rehabilitation for low- to moderate-income households, and payment of assessments levied against properties owned and occupied by persons of low and moderate income to recover the capital cost for a public improvement and other improvements including street paving and drainage.
