This is achieved by (1) supplying government funds for financial assistance to rehabilitate existing units and (2) providing rental subsidies in the form of Section 8 certificates to lower income families to help them afford the rent of units in projects assisted with program funds or to find alternative housing. �' 86-539►.� ii i; Rental Rehabilitatio._ Program Page 2 .;h� Rental Rehabilitation Program Grant financing will be made available to owners of real property located in Community Development Target Areas.
