HARRISBURG − February 26, 2019  − Habitat for Humanity of Bucks County Inc. was awarded $150,000 in state funding for accessible housing improvements for qualifying low income residents with a disability through the Keystone Communities program, according to Senator Steve Santarsiero (D-10). 

The funding will support the implementation of an accessible housing program that provides necessary modifications to the homes of 24 people across the county.
