The Home Repair Program helps stabilize homes for low- to moderate-income people who either own or are currently living in single-family buildings.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Low- to moderate-income homeowners can apply to have their homes repaired through a Louisville program, but applications are only being accepted for a limited time.
The Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) will only accept applications Friday, July 1 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
OHCD is only able to fund 365 applications a year, so if they don’t receive that many applications on Friday, there will be another application window set at a later date.
However, once the maximum number of applications are received the application window will close.
