Updating a story we last posted July 9, 2013 concerning the Midland (TX) Independent School District (MISD) providing manufactured housing for staff members in housing-strapped Midland, a grant from The Scharbauer Foundation, Inc. will provide up to $500 monthly per teacher so 300 qualifying teachers can afford to rent a home or apartment. MHProNews has learned from cbs7kosa-tv the $3.3 million grant will be distributed two consecutive years. No information was forthcoming on how the recipients will be chosen nor what effect this might have on the proposed manufactured housing project.
