BOSTON, MA – March 8, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — Friday, March 5, 2010 – Furthering the Patrick-Murray Administration’s commitment to improve communities hard hit by foreclosure, Governor Deval Patrick today announced that $5.1 million in federal funds will be allotted to boost neighborhood stabilization programs underway in Framingham, Leominster, Lynn, Marlboro and Worcester. Those funds can be used to acquire, and rehabilitate foreclosed properties and get them reoccupied with new renters or homeowners.”Foreclosed and vacant properties lessen the quality of life for entire neighborhoods,” said Governor Patrick. “This influx of additional funds to those communities will enhance the good work they are already doing to revitalize neighborhoods and create new affordable housing opportunities for hard-working individuals and families who earn modest wages.”
