Does your roof leak? Are your steps crumbling? Are you facing a winter without heat due to a failing furnace? The City of Ansonia under leadership of Mayor David S. Cassetti has been awarded a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for housing rehabilitation and funding remains to serve additional households.
The city is seeking eligible low and moderate- income homeowners and renters to apply for assistance with home repairs. The goal of the program is to keep people safe in their homes by providing funding for health and safety improvements when other means may not be available.
To be eligible, property owners must have an annual income that does not exceed $62,600 for a one-person household or $89,400 for a four-person household in addition to being up to date on municipal taxes. Loans are at 0% interest and are not due and payable until change of title to home.
Eligible activities include replacing failed furnaces, roofs, windows, doors, electrical, heating, plumbing, and septic system repairs. These funds can provide for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) modifications to homes as well, such as entrance ramps and bathroom modifications.
Applications may be obtained from the City of Ansonia website or from City of Ansonia Small Cities Consultants Signal Rock Consulting LLC at 203 – 446-6468. For further information contact Anna Rodriguez, City of Ansonia Grant Specialist Manager, or Signal Rock Consulting, Small Cities Consultants, at 203 – 446-6468 or [email protected].
