The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development is providing more than $220,000 in Housing Preservation Grants to help low-income homeowners in 11 Wisconsin counties make critical health and safety repairs.
Wisconsin State Director Andrew C. Iverson says the funding will help families, seniors, and people with disabilities remain safely in their homes.
The grants are going to Greater Fox Cities Habitat for Humanity, which will receive about $110,600 to assist 14 homeowners in Calumet, Outagamie, and Waupaca counties, and Wild Rivers Habitat for Humanity, which will receive $110,000 to help 25 homeowners in Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Polk, Price, Rusk, and Washburn counties.
The funding can be used for repairs such as roof replacement, insulation, plumbing or electrical upgrades, and accessibility improvements.
The program is part of USDA Rural Development efforts to support safe and affordable housing in rural communities.
