Since 1974, the Department of Housing & Community Development has been administering funding for programs related to housing, economic and community development in Montgomery County. This funding is received through a combination of federal, state and local sources.
The Department is physically located in the former Sacred Heart Hospital, now called the Montgomery County Human Services Center. A staff of 14 employees administers a variety of eligible activities, including public improvements on streets, storm drainage and sanitary sewers; open space acquisition; recreation and senior centers improvements; downtown revitalization; historic preservation; fair housing; rehabilitation of owner-occupied and rental housing; and assistance to first-time homebuyers.
The Department works with municipalities; local non-profit agencies; other counties, state, and federal departments; developers; and the general public. The Department typically acts in a grantor or lender capacity. In addition, its staff performs monitoring and compliance functions and offers technical assistance.
