Funds Available for Rural Development Housing Preservation Grants

The Rural Housing Service (RHS), an agency within Rural
Development, announces that it is soliciting competitive applications
under its Housing Preservation Grant (HPG) program. The HPG program is
a grant program which provides qualified public agencies, private non-
profit organizations, which may include, but not be limited to, faith-
based and community organizations, and other eligible entities grant
funds to assist very low- and low-income homeowners in repairing and
rehabilitating their homes in rural areas. In addition, the HPG program
assists rental property owners and cooperative housing complexes in
repairing and rehabilitating their units if they agree to make such
units available to low- and very low-income persons.
