An informational meeting for the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program in Montgomery County will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday at the Crawfordsville District Public Library, 205 S. Washington St. Homeowners can get programming information, and Thrive West Central staff will be available to assist with applications.
Funding from the Office of Community and Rural Affairs has partnered with Thrive to make this opportunity possible. This $450,000 grant is designed to provide financial assistance (up to $25,000) for select rehabilitation activities.
These funds will help improve the quality of life for some living in the west-central region of Indiana.
Selective rehabilitation activities include radon remediation, water heater repairs/replacements, heating and/or cooling repairs/replacement, roof repairs/replacements, and exterior ADA accessibility (such as ramps and handrails). To be eligible for this program, individuals must live in Montgomery County, Indiana, own and live in the home for which they seek funds, and meet HUD low-to-moderate income limits.
Partners include the Area Agency on Aging, the Montgomery County Health Department, the Veteran’s Office, and the County Trustee offices. Applications will be available at these sites and can also be found at https://wkf.ms/42j5Ljc.
