The grants announced Friday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development are provided through the agency’s Capital Fund Program, which offers annual funding to about 3,100 public housing authorities across the country for improvements. Locally, the Caseville Housing Commission in Huron County will receive $51,363; the St. Clair Housing Commission is set to receive $52,836; and the Lapeer Housing Commission will see $50,558.
