The Office of Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced four Indiana communities will receive $1,550,000 in Owner Occupied Rehabilitation grants. The grants will be used to empower communities to directly fund homeowners of low- to moderate-income to make needed repairs on their homes.
Communities awarded an OOR grant will establish a program to help fund low- and moderate-income homeowners make repairs on their homes. Eligible repairs include roof repair or replacement, ADA accessibility, heating and cooling replacement, lighting and electrical upgrades, and water heater replacement.
OOR grants are awarded to the following communities:
- The City of Franklin is awarded $350,000;
- The City of Greensburg is awarded $350,000;
- The City of Union City is awarded $350,000; and
- Huntington County is awarded $500,000.
Funding for OCRA’s CDBG programs, including OOR, originates from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant program and is administered for the State of Indiana by OCRA.
