Mountainlands Community Housing Trust (MCHT), a nonprofit providing low income housing to Summit County families, received a big boost. The equal housing opportunity grant Cornerstone Homeownership Innovation Program (CHIP) awarded $1.3M in grants to 10 U.S. cities, including Park City.
MCTH will receive $130,000 in funding, which the nonprofit hopes to use to improve community homeownership programs in the area.
Scott Loomis, the Executive Director of the MCTH, said the grant will not only grow the staff but also improve services.
"We couldn't hire staff we needed," Loomis said. "A substantial part of this funding will go to hiring more staff, taking pressure off of the current staff."
