Two different developers submit proposals to the City of Janesville for affordable apartments totaling 120 units.

The City is seeking $891,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funding from Rock County Human Services that’s intended to combat homelessness in order to facilitate the projects.

Housing Services Director Kelly Bedessem says the City is able to use it’s own Home Investment Partnership ARPA funding as a match.

Bedessem says one of the projects intends to also seek tax incremental financing support and the other is requesting Community Development Block grant funds.

The Janesville City Council approved the grant application in a unanimous vote at their meeting this week.
