Rock County HOME Homeowner Rehab Program

How it works

The Rock County HOME Consortium announces funding under the federal HOME Program for housing activities in Rock County. Under the official 2025 application notice, HOME funds may be used to “construct or rehabilitate affordable housing” and to pay other reasonable housing-development expenses. The notice also says Rock County HOME Program funds are available for owner-occupied rehabilitation countywide.

What the money covers

The source specifically says this funding can be used for housing rehabilitation. It does not provide a project-by-project list of eligible repair items in the document we found.

Amounts and matching

The notice says approximately $1.1 million is available for HOME eligible activities with the City of Janesville and approximately $275,000 is anticipated for HOME-eligible activities completed by certified Community Housing Development Organizations. The document also states that Rock County HOME homeowner rehab activity is part of the program’s countywide use, but it does not give a separate homeowner maximum award in the source reviewed.

How to apply

The official notice is an application/RFP document, so the page is a program announcement rather than a simple homeowner brochure. The source does not provide a step-by-step homeowner application checklist in the text we reviewed.

Timing and deadlines

The document is a June 2025 application notice. It does not state a homeowner application deadline in the excerpt reviewed.

Important limits

This is housing rehabilitation funding, not a dedicated wildfire program. The official notice does not mention wildfire-specific measures, but home rehabilitation can still overlap with structural hardening work depending on the approved project.
