Programs like these are the reasons I have stayed in Freeport, raised my family in Freeport, and give back to Freeport.<\/p>\n<p>The Board of Commissioners and I are happy to move forward and grow with the Freeport Housing Authority and enhance this wonderful village. With new projects and improvements on the horizon, this is a very exciting time for residents, the Freeport Housing Authority and the Village of Freeport itself.
