The City of Jonesboro is applying for federal funds to help low-income families. Jonesboro’s Communications Director Bill Campbell says the funding would come from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. If approved, Jonesboro would receive almost 600-thousand dollars under next year’s Community Development Block Grant program. Jonesboro has used previous funds from the program to make improvements to homes, such as winterization, installing insulation, and replacing windows. The public can comment on Jonesboro’s proposed projects if the city gets next year’s grant. More information can be found here.
