Housing Rehabilitation Programs (CDBG Minor and HOME Major)

How it works

The City of Alexandria’s Community Development Department administers housing rehabilitation programs funded by federal CDBG and HOME dollars. The page says the programs assist low-income qualified recipients with repairs to their homes to improve living conditions and extend the usable life of the structure.

What the money covers

The city’s public page does not give a detailed item list for the rehab scopes, but it clearly frames the programs as home repair assistance. The program page also notes that 50% of awards are reserved for senior citizens over age 55.

Amounts and matching

The public program page does not state a dollar maximum or matching requirement.

How to apply

The city says applications are generally taken in March each year on a first-come, first-served basis. For questions, the city directs applicants to the Rehab Program Manager.

Timing and deadlines

Applications are not described as open year-round; the city says they are generally taken in March annually, and that the programs operate while funds last.
