SANFORD, Maine – Sanford Housing Authority will make capital improvements at Sunset Tower and Eastside Acres with newly announced federal funds coming its way, SHA Director Diane Gerry said this week.
Sen. Susan Collins announced Feb. 19 that SHA will receive about $298,000, part of about $10.1 million in funding for 19 housing authorities across Maine.
“Maine’s housing authorities provide an array of vital services to seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low-income families,” Collins said in a news release. “This funding will help Maine housing authorities preserve and modernize homes and meet the needs of the individuals and families who live in them.”
Gerry said 80% of the funds for SHA will go toward making upgrades at Sunset Tower, the Main Street high-rise that is the home of 77 tenants in 72 units. The plan includes replacing windows, renovating the elevators and expanding the parking lot.
To the Editor:
As everyone knows, this was a year unlike any other. The pandemic caused so many changes in our usual way of doing things. There was no exception for Christmas for Kids and Christmas for Teens. We were truly challenged with providing Christmas for the families as well as keeping everyone safe. We were blessed with many helping hands and constructive ways of delivering.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Rightstart, Inc., Christmas for Kids and Christmas for Teens programs, we would like to thank the many schools, businesses, banks, credit unions, churches, civic groups and individuals in the Oxford Hills community as well as individuals who live outside the Oxford Hills for their support of these programs. Rightstart is an all-volunteer organization serving children and teens in the Oxford Hills.
