City of Columbia CDBG-DR Minor Repair Program

How it works

The City of Columbia’s disaster recovery site lists a Minor Repair Program as one of its CDBG-Disaster Recovery programs. The city’s homeowner-repair policies page shows the city also administers the Columbia Homeowner Assistance Program and related homeowner repair/reimbursement policies under CDBG-DR.

What the money covers

The city’s homeowner repair policy document says the Columbia Homeowner Assistance Program can provide assistance for rehabilitation, repair, or reconstruction of owner-occupied households with major damage directly related to the October 2015 disaster, and can also provide assistance to meet elevation requirements where required. The city’s CDBG-DR program menu includes the Minor Repair Program, but the detailed repair list was not visible in the source excerpt.

Amounts and matching

The policy document says the homeowner assistance program can provide up to $150,000 for eligible work when unmet needs exceed $25,000.

How to apply

The city’s disaster recovery site and program-policies page are the official starting points for homeowner repair programs. The available source excerpt does not provide a current open/close date for the minor repair track.

Timing and deadlines

These are disaster recovery programs tied to the October 2015 flood recovery effort.

Important note

This is a City of Columbia program, not a Richland County program, but it is specific to a city within Richland County.
