Legally separate from the city, the land bank was formed in January 2014 to return abandoned and foreclosed properties to the tax rolls. The property on Avenue G where the two modular homes will be sited was donated to the land bank this past January. A grant from the U. S Department of Housing and Urban Development will pay for the homes.
Ron Fisher, Interfaith Housing Director, said, “We are working to improve the neighborhood, and partnering with the land bank worked well for us.” ##
