Northampton County awards $400K in affordable housing grants
Stacy Wescoe//January 2, 2026//
A number of affordable housing projects in Northampton County will benefit from $400,000 in Affordable Housing Program grant awards.
County Executive Lamont G. McClure recently announced the recipients of the grants, which will support local organizations providing transitional, affordable, and emergency housing services to residents across the county.
Among the receipients is Community Action Development Bethlehem, which will receive $45,000 for the South Bethlehem Western Gateway Revitalization Project.
The Redevelopment Authority of Easton will also receive $45,000 for its Multigenerational Home at 28 S. Locust St.
The Affordable Housing Program is designed to provide funding for initiatives that expand access to safe, affordable housing, support emergency shelter operations, and assist with rent, utility, and case management services for residents in need.
Eligible organizations apply for projects that address housing stability, homelessness prevention, and supportive housing services.
“These grants are a critical investment in our residents who are most in need of safe, stable, and affordable housing,” said McClure. “By supporting these organizations, we are helping families, seniors, veterans, and vulnerable populations access the housing resources they need to thrive.”
The 2025 awards will fund a variety of projects, including transitional housing for veterans, emergency shelter operations, facility upgrades, case management and counseling support, rent and utility assistance, and multigenerational housing initiatives.
Since the program’s inception, the Affordable Housing Program has provided vital support to organizations addressing housing insecurity, helping residents secure safe and affordable living arrangements while strengthening communities throughout Northampton County.
“Access to safe, affordable housing is a foundation for stability, opportunity, and quality of life. By investing in the organizations that provide these essential services, we are helping residents build a brighter future while strengthening the community as a whole,” said McClure.
