Part of this success, 321 housing units (201 ownership/120 rentals) was attributed to a $7 million state investment, which wasleveraged seven times to $52,549,302 supporting 26 projects. In addition to new units of housing, LCI administers a downpayment and closing cost program and a homebuyer gap financing program, which has assisted 144 families over the past five years.
