DECATUR COUNTY is part of the Moderate Income Housing Rehabilitation Pilot Program. This program offers reimbursement grants of up to $10,000 to homeowners to complete minor housing upgrades. Examples of eligible housing upgrades include items such as roofing, siding, windows, or heating and air units.
Homeowners must provide a 10 percent match up to $1,000 as well as pay any costs above and beyond the $10,000 grant. Rental properties are not eligible for this program. Self-help (homeowner supplying the needed labor with the program supplying reimbursement for materials) is allowed, but a 10% match is still required.
