Home Rehabilitation Grant Program

How it works

The Home Rehabilitation Grant Program (HRGP) provides funding to assist individuals with home-repair improvements that address health, safety, and durability issues in homes in rural areas. Commerce contracts with several organizations to administer the program, and homeowners apply through one of the participating rehabilitation agencies.
