Thrive West Central recently announced the launch of the Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program in Montgomery County.  The Office of Community and Rural Affairs has partnered with Thrive to make this opportunity possible. This $450,000 grant is designed to provide financial assistance of up to $25,000 for select rehabilitation activities. These funds are designed to help improve the quality of life for recipients in the county.

Selective rehabilitation activities include radon remediation, water heater repairs/replacements, heating and / or cooling repairs/replacement, roof repairs / replacements and exterior ADA accessibility (such as ramps and handrails).  To be eligible for this program, individuals must live in Montgomery County, own and live in the home for which they seek funds and meet HUD low-to-moderate income limits. 

Partners include the Area Agency on Aging, the Montgomery County Health Department, the Veteran’s Office and county trustee offices.  Applications will be available at these sites and can also be found at https://wkf.ms/42j5Ljc.
