More Affordable Homes Being Built
Odessa (TX) American (2/16, Toledanes, 16K) reports, "While Odessa's population continues to grow, places to live in town aren't just hard to find -- they come with a steep price, too." In order "to offset the increasing price of renting apartments and buying homes, Odessa Affordable Housing and the City of Odessa have begun construction on 16 townhomes in the west side of Odessa." These units "qualify for the city's Homebuyer Assistance Program, in which applicants who qualify, in income and credit history, can receive help with down payment and closing costs from the City of Odessa."
