Century Seeking Federal Housing Rehabilitation Grant
July 16, 2014
The Town of Century is seeking a federal grant for housing repair.
The town intends to submit a Housing Preservation Grant application to the USDA’s Rural Development Housing Services requesting $90,000 to provide basic housing repairs.
If grant funds are award, it is anticipated that funds will be available in the range of $2,000 to $5,000 per home, providing enough funds to rehabilitate about 15 homes within the town limits.
It is too early for residents to apply for housing assistance. If the town is awarded the grant, it will then advertise an open application period during which Century homeowners may request assistance through the program. That information will be published on NorthEscambia.com.
