Program details

How it works

The City of Charleston says the Emergency Rehabilitation Grant Program is funded through the city’s CDBG program and provides emergency assistance to eligible homeowners within the city limits of Charleston. The stated purpose is to address conditions that need swift action.

What the money covers

The city defines eligible emergencies as situations where immediate correction is needed to safeguard against a code deficiency or life-safety hazard that threatens the health and safety of the residents, or to protect property from further structural damage.

Amounts and matching

The official page reviewed does not state a dollar cap, matching requirement, or reimbursement method.

How it applies to hardening

This is not described as a wildfire-only program, but emergency repair work that prevents further structural damage can overlap with disaster hardening and post-disaster stabilization.

Timing and deadlines

The city page presents the program as available, but no application window or deadline is stated.
