Baldwin Park will receive $281,500 in public housing modernization grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a congressman said Monday.
Rep. Matthew G. Martinez (D-Monterey Park) said the funds will be earmarked for the replacement of water heaters, roofs and worn-out appliances. The money also will enable the city to upgrade security, improve utility doors and re-landscape the complex grounds, he said.
“This funding will improve the living conditions of public housing residents in Baldwin Park,” Martinez said. “Most importantly, this grant will give public housing in the 31st Congressional District a much-needed face lift.”
