RICHMOND (AP) -- Five Hampton Roads cities are among several Virginia localities to receive money to buy and rehabilitate foreclosed homes.

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine announced more than $17 milllion for Neighborhood Stabilization Funding. He says the rehabilitated homes will be sold to low-to-moderate income families.

Kaine says $15 million will be used to rehabilitate about 136 homes in 29 high-need neighborhoods across the state.

Frederick, Shenandoah and Warren counties will share the remaining $2.5 million to address foreclosures in the Northern Shenandoah Valley.

Kaine says about 16,000 foreclosed homes are vacant around the state.
