Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) home repair resources for Butler County homeowners through SELF

How it works

The City of Middletown says Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are granted to the city each year and may be used for a wide range of community development needs, including rehabilitation of residential structures and public services. On this page, the city highlights CDBG-funded home repair resources for homeowners.

What the money covers

The city lists CDBG-funded home repair resources through two providers: People Working Cooperatively (PWC) and Supports to Encourage Low-Income Families (SELF).

• PWC says it provides critical home repairs, energy conservation, and accessibility modification services.
• SELF says it helps low-income Butler County homeowners with free home repairs and mobility modifications.

The page also says SELF helped more than 170 senior citizens, people with disabilities, and families with young children last year who were physically and/or financially unable to do the work themselves.

Amounts and matching

No dollar cap, reimbursement percentage, or homeowner match requirement is stated on the page. SELF describes its services as free to eligible homeowners.

How to apply

For SELF, homeowners can call 513-664-0174 or email mlowry@selfhelps.org to see if they qualify or to apply for home repair assistance. The page also says homeowners with questions about their or their family’s eligibility can call SELF at 513-868-9300.

For PWC, the page provides contact information only: info@pwchomerepairs.org and 513-351-7921.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not give a homeowner application deadline or closing date. It does note general annual CDBG funding activity and references 2025-2029 planning documents, but no homeowner-specific deadline is stated.
