PRO Grant Public Meeting
September 27 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
You are cordially invited to attend a public meeting held by the West Piedmont Planning District Commission (WPPDC) on Friday, September 27th to discuss the Pathways to Removing Obstacles to Housing (PRO) grant. The grant is worth $100 million and empowers communities that are actively taking steps to remove barriers to affordable housing and seeking to increase housing production and lower housing costs over the long term. There will be two meetings:
Friday, September 27th
1 p.m. – 2 p.m.
West Piedmont Planning District Commission

Martinsville, VA 24112
Friday, September 27th
3 p.m. – 4 p.m.
The Franklin Center
50 Claiborne Avenue
Rocky Mount, VA 24151
The meeting will provide an overview of the grant and how it can benefit our communities of Chatham, Bassett, Sandy Level, Union Hall, Patrick Springs and Penhook. The WPPDC will be applying $7 million of PRO Housing funds.
The goal of WPPDC using PRO Housing funds is the creation of new housing in PRO Housing Priority Areas for minority LMI residents, provide homebuyer education or other educational programs for LMI residents and, mortgage buy-downs to allow homes to be deemed affordable to LMI residents.
We look forward to seeing you there and discussing how we can work together to improve our community.
