Your application paperwork
Indiana's Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation program uses federal Community Development Block Grant money to fund local home repair programs for income-qualified homeowners, covering work like roof replacement, heating and cooling, water heaters, electrical upgrades, and accessibility modifications. The state awards the funds to a local unit of government or nonprofit; you apply through the local program in your community.
Steps to apply
- Check whether your city, town, or county runs an Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation program (the state funds local programs, not homeowners directly).
- If yours does, contact that local program to apply; if it does not, ask your local government to apply for the state CDBG funding.
- Confirm with the administrator that you meet the current rules: you own and occupy the home and your household income is low to moderate.
- The local program inspects the home and manages the approved repairs.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof you own and occupy the home.
- Proof of household income (low to moderate income).
- A description of the repairs needed.
- A government-issued photo ID.
Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules and application route with the administrator. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
Deadline: Contact local community action agency for availability
