Nearly $50 million is headed to the Northern San Joaquin Valley to help people buy and renovate foreclosed homes.
That includes nearly $8.2 million for Modesto, $1.5 million for Turlock and more than $9.7 million for the rest of Stanislaus County.
Individual home buyers, real estate investors and contractors can get chunks of this federal money this spring to help them purchase, fix up and occupy foreclosed homes.
