The US Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA RD) has announced the availability of grants to help rural Kentucky residents repair and improve their homes. The grants are part of the USDA RD's Section 504 Home Repair Program, which provides financial assistance to eligible homeowners to make needed repairs and improvements to their homes.
The program aims to help low-income homeowners in rural areas of Kentucky improve their living conditions and increase the value of their homes. Eligible repairs include roofing, plumbing, electrical, and structural improvements, as well as accessibility modifications for disabled residents.
To qualify for the program, homeowners must have a household income at or below 50% of the area median income and have a home in need of repair. The program offers grants of up to $7,500 for eligible repairs, which do not need to be repaid.
The USDA RD's Section 504 Home Repair Program has helped many rural Kentuckians make necessary repairs to their homes and improve their quality of life. The program also helps to stimulate local economies by creating jobs and boosting demand for construction materials and services.
Residents of rural Kentucky who are interested in applying for the program should contact their local USDA RD office for more information. The USDA RD is committed to helping rural communities thrive by providing access to essential services and programs, and the Section 504 Home Repair Program is an important part of this effort.
