DeKalb Applied For Home Repair Grant

The DeKalb County Commission has voted to apply for a $500,000 Home program grant from the Tennessee Housing Development Agency.

The Home program funding helps low income senior citizens and individuals with disabilities who cannot afford to rehabilitate their homes. If approved, at least 10 or more homeowners could get help with issues such as plumbing, unsafe flooring, faulty wiring, damaged roofs and more.

DeKalb County applied for the grant three years ago, but the state denied the grant application.
