Homeowner Rehabilitation/Reconstruction Grants
Homeowner Rehabilitation/Reconstruction grants are made to units of local government to assist homeowners in making repairs to their homes to correct deficiencies in electrical wiring, plumbing, heating, roofing and foundation. If a house contains all five (5) major deficiencies, then reconstruction of the house is necessary. These corrections provide the homeowner with decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing.
