The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $1,000,000 Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant to the Municipio De Manati, Department of Federal Contributions Division in Puerto Rico. The grant, awarded on January 30, 2024, supports a 5-year project to implement a comprehensive plan for community revitalization centered on redeveloping severely distressed public and/or HUD-assisted housing in Manati. The Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grants program aims to transform low-income neighborhoods by replacing deteriorated housing with high-quality mixed-income developments, while also improving resident outcomes and promoting public and private reinvestment in the community. As the grant recipient, the Municipio De Manati will utilize the funding to execute activities such as site improvements, resident relocation, demolition of existing public housing units, construction of new mixed-income housing, and implementation of supportive services focused on enhancing residents' employment, health, and education.
