INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced Monday that four Indiana communities, including two local towns, have been awarded Owner Occupied Rehabilitation grants totaling $1,000,000. The grants will be used to directly fund homeowners of low-moderate income to make needed repairs on their homes.
Communities awarded will set up a program to distribute the funds. Eligible repairs include roof repair or replacement, ADA accessibility, heating/cooling replacement, lighting/electrical upgrades, and water heater replacement.
The four Hoosier communities that will each receive $250,000 in funding are Seymour, North Vernon, Lawrenceburg, and Jefferson County.
