City of Huntsville CDBG Home Rehabilitation Program

How it works

Huntsville’s Community Development department administers the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and uses it to fund housing rehabilitation for qualifying homeowners. The city describes this as a home rehabilitation program for owner-occupied homes, with the goal of improving living conditions through exterior modifications.

What the money covers

The city says CDBG may fund housing rehabilitation, and its page specifically notes that volunteers may help with critical home repairs including:

• yard cleanup
• exterior painting
• siding
• roofing
• securing doors and windows

The city also says the program can support other activities such as infrastructure, economic development, public facilities, public services, and clearance/acquisition, but the homeowner-facing repair work is the home rehabilitation component.

Amounts and matching

The official page does not state a fixed dollar amount for individual homeowner repairs. It also does not describe a matching requirement on the program page.

How to apply

The page says homeowners should email the Community Development office for assistance or program-specific questions.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not state a current application deadline or open/closed date on the official program page.
