Program details

How it works

Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP) administers the Community Housing Impact & Preservation (CHIP) Home Repair program for Erie County. The county says the program provides home repair assistance for a variety of needs, and directs homeowners to GLCAP for application details.

What the money covers

The county’s housing rehabilitation page says CHIP home repair assistance can cover:

Furnace replacements
Water heater replacements
Roof replacements
Electrical upgrades
Plumbing upgrades
ADA modifications

The county’s CHIP FAQ also says home repair is typically for one system, such as a leaking roof or furnace, and that it is a grant to the eligible homeowner.

Amounts and matching

The current county housing page does not state a dollar amount. The county’s CHIP FAQ states: Home Repair — maximum of $18,000 for 21 units.

How to apply

The county housing page sends applicants to GLCAP for more details at its home repair program page and gives a phone number for GLCAP. The county page itself does not describe a separate county application portal.

Timing and deadlines

The official county page does not list current opening or closing dates. Because the page points to GLCAP for details and does not state a current application window, timing is not specified on the county housing page.
