Community Action Lehigh Valley (CACLV) Urgent Need Roof and HVAC Replacement Program

How it works

Lehigh County’s 2024 Annual Consolidated Performance and Evaluation Report describes a local homeowner repair effort called the Community Action Lehigh Valley (CACLV) Urgent Need Roof and HVAC Replacement Program, administered through Community Action Lehigh Valley and funded through the Redevelopment Authority of Lehigh County. The program was designed to help a very small number of homeowners with urgent housing-system repairs.

What the money covers

The source says the program assists homeowners whose houses need repairs to roofs and/or non-functioning HVAC systems. It does not list any other covered work.

Amounts and matching

The county report shows a CDBG funding amount of $45,014 for the program and says it would help three eligible homeowners. No per-home maximum, match requirement, or reimbursement method is stated in the source.

Who it was aimed at

The report says it was for homeowners residing in Lehigh County outside city limits, especially those in Catasauqua, Coplay, Hanover, Fountain Hill, Macungie, and Slatington, with incomes at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI).

Timing and deadlines

The source is a 2024 county report and does not provide current application dates, whether the program is still taking applications, or whether funding remains available. Because the official material I found is a planning/report document rather than a live application page, the current funding status is unknown.
