Indiana County Whole-Home Repairs Program

How it works

Pennsylvania’s Whole-Home Repairs Program provides funding to county-wide agencies, and Indiana County is listed by the state as a county contact/agency for the program. The program is designed to address habitability and safety concerns, improve energy or water efficiency, and make units accessible for people with disabilities. (dced.pa.gov)

What the money covers

The official program materials say funds may be used for home repairs that address habitability and safety concerns, plus measures that improve energy or water efficiency and accessibility. The program also supports construction-related workforce development. The state guidelines further note that “existing home repair programs” can include weatherization assistance, CDBG, HOME, PHFA-related rehabilitation programs, low-income usage reduction programs, and energy efficiency/conservation programs, but the program page itself does not list a fire-specific scope. (dced.pa.gov)

Amounts and matching

The state fact sheet says homeowners may receive up to $50,000 in funding, and small landlords may receive loans; the program page does not provide a county-specific amount beyond the statewide cap. (dced.pa.gov)

How to apply

The state directs individuals and households to the county contact list/agency for their county. The county-specific application process is therefore administered locally, not through a single Indiana County-specific public webpage in the materials found. (dced.pa.gov)

Timing and deadlines

The state page does not give Indiana County-specific open and close dates in the material reviewed. Funding status depends on whether the county’s local agency is still accepting applications or running a waitlist. (dced.pa.gov)
