The program is designed to help senior residents remain safely in the homes they own. Funding is provided through the federal Community Development Block Grant program and does not need to be repaid.
Home improvements covered by the program include electrical and plumbing repairs, roof replacement and upgrades to HVAC systems. The program also funds repairs for exterior windows and doors, mold remediation, lead hazard reduction and ADA accessibility modifications.
