Description
This program enables eligible Indiana communities to establish or expand local home repair initiatives that provide direct funding for critical repairs and accessibility modifications to owner-occupied residences. The focus is on improving housing quality, safety, and accessibility for low- and moderate-income homeowners, including upgrades such as roof replacement, HVAC and water heater replacement, select electrical improvements, and ADA/accessibility modifications. The program is funded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and is designed to help communities support aging in place and address urgent housing needs.
