Armstrong County Housing Rehabilitation Programs

How it works

Armstrong County’s Department of Planning and Development administers multiple housing rehabilitation programs for eligible residents. The county says it provides housing assistance for qualifying homeowners, including window and/or roof repair, plumbing upgrades, and electrical upgrades.

The county page lists these programs as part of its housing assistance:

• Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
• HOME Program
• Housing Preservation Grant (HPG) Program
• Senior Home Repair Program
• Accessible Housing Rehabilitation Program

What the money covers

The county states that its housing rehab programs are for general home improvements that address code deficiencies. Specific examples named on the official page include:

• Roof repair or replacement
• Furnace repair or replacement
• Window repair
• Plumbing upgrades
• Electrical upgrades
• Other home improvements that make a home code-compliant

For the Senior Home Repair Program, the county says the grant is used primarily for furnace repair or replacement, and if necessary, roof repair or replacement.

For the Housing Preservation Grant, the county says it is a countywide USDA Rural Development-funded project for very low-income owner-occupied homeowners and will make eligible general home improvements.

How to apply

The county says applicants should download, complete, and submit the Housing Rehabilitation Intake Form. The page also provides county contact information for the Planning and Development office.

Timing and deadlines

The county page does not state a current opening or deadline date. It appears to be an ongoing intake page, but the official page does not say whether applications are currently open, waitlisted, or closed.
