Gusciora also stated that $6 million in Community Development Block Grants (from 2011-2018), from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, was in the process of being unfrozen. On January 21, 2020, Gusciora stated that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had decided to release funds to the Capital City because of Gusciora's re-hiring of key positions needed for the appropriate management of federal funds. While most of the funding was used to pay back the City for past projects, the rest will go into public facility renovations and improvements for senior centers.
