Manhattan city commissioners expressed support Tuesday for a $150,000 funding proposal from Habitat for Humanity of the Northern Flint Hills to develop two long-term affordable homes on Dickens Avenue.
The proposal would use money from the city’s workforce housing sales tax fund to rehabilitate an existing home at 3115 Dickens Ave. and construct a second home at 3117 Dickens Ave.
Habitat executive director Josh Brewer requested $100,000 to reimburse property acquisition costs and another $50,000 to extend public sanitary sewer service to the development.
