Calls grow to expand $50,000 grants to homeowners for critical repairs | fox43.com


While most counties have not yet opened applications to homeowners, officials expect demand will far exceed the program’s initial $125 million in funding.

Legislation passed last year is taking aim at blight and hundreds of thousands of homes in desperate need of repair and weatherization.

The Whole-Home Repairs program helps assess home repair needs and find contractors and community organizations to perform the repairs.

Homeowners can be granted up to $50,000 for each unit. Small landlords can be granted a forgivable $50,000 loan per unit.

Lancaster Stands Up organized a rally featuring Representative Smith-Wade-El, Senator Nikil Saval, CASA, POWER Interfaith, and dozens of supporters who pushed for the Whole Home Repairs program.
