In July, the Mayor wrote a column about the grants and funds available in our community for home updates for income-qualified individuals, especially senior citizens.
Deborah Ellis of the Northwest Regional Housing Authority said they received many calls from the community interested in the project.
The Northwest Regional Housing Authority Annex location is still accepting Grant applications, but funds are currently exhausted and may not be available until 2026.
The Home Modification Program loan program currently has funds available. Loans are available up to $40,000 at 1% interest. This 20-year loan has no age restrictions, but there is a credit score requirement, and is based on income eligibility, which differs for every county.
