Communities across Long Island are collectively receiving more than $26 million in federal funding for local development projects, officials said.

Provided by the Office of Community Planning and Development, the funding was announced Monday by U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand.

It consists of more than $21 million in Community Development Block Grant funding and more than $4.8 million HOME Investment Partnership Program, which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

HOME funding is provided to state and local governments exclusively to create affordable housing. The CPD program enables local governments to “support affordable housing initiatives, provide essential services, and expand economic development,” according to a press release about the funding

The programs are “vital streams of investment that support local economic development and community revitalization,” Schumer said in a statement about the funding.

This funding will “help more communities create good paying jobs, deliver essential services to families and seniors, and support smart growth efforts,” he added.

“Long Island communities will be able to build on their efforts to revitalize communities, create new jobs, and attract even more investment – all while helping ensure that housing can be accessible for all Long Islanders,” Gillibrand said in a statement.
