Community Development Block Grant Housing Rehabilitation Program

The Community Development Block Grant Housing Rehabilitation Program aims to provide units of general local government with funds to address housing needs of eligible low-to-moderate income households. The program targets projects that preserve single-family, owner-occupied housing needing rehabilitation and encourage neighborhood revitalization. Eligible activities include labor and materials, replacement of principal fixtures and components of existing structures, water and sewer connections, and more. The grant ceiling is $800,000 per award, and the Department has established a minimum grant award level of $300,000. • Eligible applicants include units of general local government, such as cities, villages, townships, and counties. • The program emphasizes the dual goal of serving low-to-moderate income households and maximizing program impact. • Applicants must demonstrate need for housing rehabilitation and support for the proposed project from eligible residents of the project area. • The grant program is utilizing federal pass-through funds, and awards will range from $300,000 to $800,000. • The period of performance is expected to be approximately 90 days after issuance of a Notice of State Award Finalist, and the grant agreement will be issued for a contract period of twenty-four months.
