Funding Project. Lexington has been in this program since 05 -06, and Aaron explained how the
process works, and how the funds are allocated, what is required to be in compliance with
DHCD as far as paper work goes . A hand out was given to the board that consisted of a graph
to show the steps of how the program relates to LEXHAB. Aaron believes the Leary Project
would be an eligible project. The board discussed the program in depth and what it would
mean for LEXHAB.
