Kentucky Housing Corporation Announces Homeowner Occupied Repair Affair Funding
Kentucky Housing Corporation has announced the latest recipients to receive funding from the Homeowner Occupied Repair Affair program. Fifteen agencies will receive a total of $147,000 to help meet the housing repair needs of low-income Kentuckians.
A Repair Affair is typically a blitz repair program that is usually completed over a one- to two-week time frame where houses in a neighborhood receive cosmetic improvements, such as paint, door repair, window replacement or glazing, gutters and/or roof repair, etc. Repairs can also include mobility accessibility issues or repairing living accommodations for elderly or persons with a disability to make housing more accessible.
Applicants may apply for up to $10,000 to assist in funding their local repair affair program. Applicants are required to match at least 50 percent of the requested Repair Affair funds. For example: If an organization is requesting $10,000 in Repair Affair assistance, then the organization would be required to also provide at least $5,000 in matching resources.
Funding allocations for this year’s Repair Affair program are listed below.
