Project Shine

How it works

Project Shine is a Housing Rehabilitation Program run through the City of Huntington’s Development Department. The page says it is designed to provide assistance with exterior home repairs and accessibility upgrades. The city describes it as a housing rehabilitation assistance program for homeowners, and it is presented as a city service rather than a cash reimbursement or loan.

For questions, the city lists Erica Davis-Hall at (304) 696-5540 ext. 2110 and Davis-HallE@huntingtonwv.gov.
