The Baltimore housing department has canceled plans to use $600,000 in affordable housing bond funds to bankroll a community center planned and owned by an affiliate of Bethel A.M.E. Church.
Agency spokesperson Tammy Hawley confirmed late today that the funds will not be used to restore 1429 McCulloh Street after “a legal determination” was made that it was not in keeping with the Affordable Housing Program.
Hawley said she was not aware of any plans to replace the loan with another funding source.
