Pickaway County Community Action Association USDA Housing Preservation Grant

How it works

Pickaway County commissioners’ meeting minutes say Pickaway County Community Action Association planned to apply for a USDA Housing Preservation Grant and that, if funded, the program would run from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2027. The minutes say the grant is used to help rural county residents with home repairs.

What the money covers

The official county minutes list examples of eligible uses as:

• repairs of leaks
• roofs
• floors
• doors
• HVAC system upgrades
• walk-in showers

The minutes do not say whether the assistance is a grant to homeowners directly, a reimbursement program, or a contractor-paid program.

Amounts and matching

The commissioners’ minutes say PICCA intended to apply for $113,300 in grant funds, and that the average cost of repairs would be $9,500 per home.

Timing and deadlines

The minutes say the grant, if funded, was anticipated to begin on October 1, 2025 and run through September 30, 2027. The document available from the county is meeting minutes rather than a homeowner application page, so the specific application process and deadlines for homeowners are not stated there.

What a homeowner should know

This is the only currently documented Pickaway County-specific homeowner assistance program I found in official county material that clearly includes property repair money related to home hardening or disaster resilience. The source is thin on how a homeowner applies, so a homeowner would need to contact PICCA or county staff for application details.
