Hancock County Community Housing Impact and Preservation Program (CHIP)

How it works

The Hancock County Community Housing Impact and Preservation Program (CHIP) provides no-cost home repairs or rehabilitation for eligible homeowners. The program is offered in partnership with the City of Findlay and is administered on behalf of Hancock County.

What the money covers

The page says repairs may include:

• plumbing

• roof repairs or replacement
• furnace repairs or replacement
• ADA modifications
• water heater replacement
• insulation
• other home repair needs

A related Home Repair Program description also specifically lists furnace replacements, water heater replacements, roof replacements, electrical upgrades, plumbing upgrades, and ADA modifications.

Funding source

Hancock County says it is able to offer this opportunity with funding from the Ohio Development Service Agency, Office of Community Development (OCD).

Timing and deadlines

The page includes a notice for a "2026 Chip Request for Statement of qualifications/proposals," but it does not state homeowner application deadlines, start dates, or end dates.

Additional notes

The page describes the assistance as "no-cost" for income-eligible homeowners who reside in Hancock County. It does not provide a maximum award amount or matching requirement on the page.
