North Elba received the $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding in December 2021. The program is federally funded through the state’s CDBG program. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports the funds were allocated to create a housing repair assistance program that will grant loans to local homeowners for home repairs they normally wouldn’t be able to afford. Of the $500,000, $460,504 has been dispersed. The remaining funds have been spent but have yet to be dispersed due to project delays.
