Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program (proposed by City of Bedford)

How it works

Bedford city council minutes show the city authorizing a submission to the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) for an Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation (OOR) program. The minutes say the city had previously pledged $30,000 as a match and that this match would support a larger grant request.

What the money covers

The minutes do not list specific repair categories. They only identify the effort as an owner-occupied rehabilitation program, which generally implies housing repairs for homeowners, but the official record I found does not specify the eligible work.

Amounts and matching

• The city pledged $30,000 for match funding.
• At the time of the meeting, the proposed grant amount was $250,000.
• The minutes state that with the $30,000 pledge, the grant amount could be changed to $300,000 with the same matching score.

How to apply

The document I found is a city council meeting minute, not a public application page. It does not provide an application form, timeline, or instructions for homeowners.

Timing and deadlines

The minutes are dated September 17, 2024. They do not state when the program opens to homeowners, whether it was approved, or whether it is currently accepting applications.
