Michigan cities await word on demolition funds
FLINT (AP) -- Several Michigan cities are expected to find out later this month how much money they'll get to help tear down thousands of vacant houses and clean up struggling neighborhoods.
Officials earlier this year announced that $100 million from the federal government's Hardest Hit Fund would be used in Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids, Pontiac and Saginaw. The fund was created in 2010 to help states struggling through the economic and mortgage crisis.
The Flint Journal reports the Flint area is seeking $25 million of the money to demolish more than 2,000 homes.
The Michigan State Housing Development Authority has received applications.
A meeting is Aug. 12 and a decision on how much money each city will get is expected to be made by no later than Aug. 15.
