Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously closed the public hearing on Richmond's plan for spending federal housing grants in 2012-2013. This administrative step allows the city to finalize and submit its application for Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds, which support affordable housing programs and neighborhood improvements.
