Governor McKee, the Executive Office of Housing and RIHousing Announce Technical Assistance Awards to Support Housing Production Across Rhode Island

PROVIDENCE, RI – Governor McKee, the Executive Office of Housing (EOH), and RIHousing today announced the awards for four technical assistance programs, each one encouraging an increase in housing production in Rhode Island. The 32 awards, totaling over $2.6 million in federal and state investments, will support municipalities and housing developers removing barriers to housing development and conducting predevelopment activities to expand the state’s new housing pipeline.

“Access to housing means access to health care, education, workforce opportunities, and a better future—and that's what's at the heart of this award program,” said Governor Dan McKee. “Thanks to a strong partnership between state and private leaders, we're streamlining production and breaking down barriers. Rhode Island remains fully committed to tackling the housing crisis head-on and lifting Rhode Islanders up and helping them along the Rhode to Prosperity.” 

The awards, approved at meetings of the RIHousing Board of Commissioners and the Rhode Island Housing Development Corporation (RIHDC) Board of Directors, will be administered by RIHousing. (RIHDC is a nonprofit subsidiary of RIHousing).
