How it works
The page says this HomeOwner Repair Program is currently unavailable unless funding changes, but it is an existing program described as being made possible by New York State Homes & Community Renewal’s Affordable Housing Corporation funding.
Once an application is deemed eligible, a housing rehab specialist visits the home to identify and prioritize requested, needed, and eligible repairs. The program says it can provide up to $10,000 in assistance.
