CHIP Grant Home Rehab Program

How it works

The City of Tifton says it was awarded Community Home Investment Program (CHIP) funds from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to assist eligible homeowners with housing rehabilitation. The page describes this as a grant program for owner-occupied homes.

What the money covers

The city states the funds are for housing rehabilitation. It does not provide a line-item list of covered repairs, a per-home award cap, or details on whether payments are made directly to homeowners or to contractors.

Amounts and matching

Tifton says it received $400,000 in 2023 and $500,000 in 2025 for this program. The page does not state any homeowner matching requirement, reimbursement rules, or maximum award per household.

How to apply

Interested homeowners are told to contact the Grant Administrators at 229-928-5779 for more information. The page also includes a link to view the CHIP Grant Flyer for 2025, but it does not provide a full online application or a detailed checklist on the page itself.

Timing and deadlines

The page confirms the program is active and references awards in 2023 and 2025, but it does not state an application deadline, closing date, or whether funds remain available.

Additional notes

The program is tied to DCA CHIP funding and is aimed at helping eligible low- to moderate-income homeowners with housing rehabilitation within the program target area.
