Sometimes it’s difficult for homeowners to save the money to make necessary repairs to the home they’ve grown to love. USDA Rural Development makes loans to eligible homeowners to finance necessary repairs to homes.
With funds from USDA Rural Development, you can upgrade electrical wiring or heating systems, replace deteriorating siding, have a new roof installed, add more insulation, or remodel your current home to make it accessible and useable for household members with disabilities. It’s even possible to replace failing well or septic systems or hook on to a municipality.
Homeowners 62 years and older may be eligible for home improvement grants (free). Other low income families and individuals receive loans at a 1% interest rate. Plan to attend a meeting to learn about this program at The Life Enrichment Center/Marshall County Council on Aging on Thursday, March 30th at either 3:00PM or 5:30PM (same presentation each time). The public is welcome and there is no admission charge.
