“Once again, a very lucky individual or family will have the opportunity to purchase a beautiful new home at an affordable price. Homeownership is the American dream, and the Community Development Agency is looking forward to assisting someone with making that dream a reality,” said Community Development Agency Director Leah M. Jefferson.
The lottery selection will be held in Room 114 at Huntington Town Hall on Tuesday, March 5 at 5 pm.
