The application window for Montgomery County’s Whole Home Repairs Program is now open. The program is designed to offer financial relief for low-income property owners to make improvements on their homes. Montgomery County homeowners making less than 80% of the area median income, a figure set at $114,000, are eligible to apply for grants of up to $50,000. Median income is based on household size. The program website states qualifying projects could include plumbing, electrical and foundation repairs, roof or rain gutter replacements, widening sidewalks or doorways, installing hand or guide rails, or repairing a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. Prioritization could be made for aging infrastructure, households with vulnerable populations, and individuals with disabilities. The application window will remain open until April 12.
