INDIANAPOLIS– The Office of Lt. Governor Micah Beckwith and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs today announced eight Indiana communities will receive nearly $1 million in Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Grants and Planning Grants through the Community Development Block Grant program.
Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation grants will be used to empower these communities to directly fund homeowners of low-to-moderate income to make needed repairs on their homes. While communities awarded Planning Grants will use the funding to develop plans for long-term planning efforts.
“By directing resources straight to local leaders and hardworking Hoosiers, we’re ensuring taxpayer dollars deliver real results,” Lieutenant Governor Beckwith said. “These grants create safer homes for families, allow research on potentially dangerous situations, and provide strategies to expand and thrive economically. Empowering communities produces private-sector growth and secures an even brighter future for Indiana.”…
