Program details

How it works

The City says the Private Property Assistance (PPA) program provides free contractor services for eligible residential properties impacted by the May tornado. The listed services are demolition, debris removal, stabilization, and home repair.

What the money covers

The help is service-based rather than a homeowner reimbursement. It is intended to address unsafe conditions, prevent further property deterioration, and support neighborhood stabilization.

Amounts and matching

No dollar amount or match requirement is stated on the official page.

Timing and deadlines

The city says the initial application window is closed and the program has moved into property review and prioritization. The page says applications received now will be marked as “late” and services will be rendered as available.

How to apply

The official announcement notes the application phase has closed; it does not provide a fresh open application window on the page.

Special notes

The city reported that it had sufficient funding to continue home repair services through July at the time of the announcement.
