Press Releases

Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, today announced a more than $91,000 federal grant for affordable housing and economic development in Anacortes. The U.S. Housing and Urban Development grant will fund affordable housing and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents.

“This grant will create local construction jobs and help low-income families in Anacortes keep a roof over their heads,” Larsen said. “When people have the basics— a safe home, access to good education, and critical support services—they have the ability to seek better work and improve their futures. Local programs like these help create opportunity while creating a better community for all of us.”

Anacortes will receive a $91,326 Community Development Block Grant. Washington state will receive an additional $20,731,960 for statewide affordable housing programs.
