Helps get low- and moderate-income houses up to code
utchess County on May 21 announced the expansion of its Owner-Occupied Property Rehabilitation Program to include more low- and moderate-income residents.
The program originally helped seniors bring their homes up to code but now will be offered to other residents. It provides up to $40,000 per project to address health, safety or fire hazards.
The focus is on major systems such as furnaces, plumbing, structural (roofs, walls, decks, porches), electrical, handicapped accessibility, bathrooms and kitchens and appliances.
To qualify, applicants must own and live in a single-family home and meet income-eligibility requirements. See dub.sh/dutchess-planning.
