ONONDAGA COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT – HOME IMPROVEMENT GRANTS AVAILABLE
Do you live in a home built before 1978? Are you interested in increasing the value of your home while making it a safer environment for your children, grandchildren, or other visitors under the age of 6? If you answered “yes” to these questions, and have a current income below 80% of the county median, you may be eligible for a grant to reduce lead-based paint hazards in your home. (A family of 4 with an annual income below $53,300 meets the guidelines.)
Onondaga County Community Development’s Lead Hazard Reduction Program helps homeowners and landlords by removing lead paint hazards in their properties. Depending on findings of the Risk Assessment performed at your home, repair work funded by the grant can range from small paint restorations to whole house renovations involving window and door replacement, porch work, siding, trim work, flooring and painting. The program covers 100% of the lead hazard reduction costs.
Additionally, for a 25% contribution, homeowners may opt to have general repair work, (roofing, plumbing, electric, etc.), completed at their property. For more details contact:
