NEWARK — Newark plans to apply for a $39 million state grant to purchase a hotel in the city and convert it to permanent housing for people who are homeless and those earning very low incomes, the first complex of its kind in the city’s history.

“This is the sort of affordable housing that’s really not created enough,” said Louis Chicoine, the director of Abode Services, a Fremont nonprofit supportive housing provider that would manage the site.
