Johnson County Housing Rehabilitation & Emergency Home Repair Program

How it works

Johnson County is accepting applications for one or more contractors to administer and implement housing rehabilitation and emergency home repair services. This is a county-run funding opportunity for program administration and service delivery, not a direct homeowner application on the page.

What the money covers

The program will fund housing rehabilitation and emergency home repair services. The county says the repairs are intended to help low-income homeowners make essential home repairs and home modifications. The page also says the work will help older adults and disabled residents age in place.

Amounts and matching

• The County may award up to $600,000 in funding over a 42-month timeframe.
• Johnson County will award up to $300,000 for the initial 18-month contract period of 2023-01-01 through 2024-06-30.
• Funding renewals for Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026 are contingent upon successful completion of scope of services, contract performance, and compliance with contract terms and conditions.
• No homeowner-level award maximum, cost share, or matching requirement is stated on the page.

How to apply
