INDIANAPOLIS – Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs today announced four Indiana communities are awarded Owner Occupied Rehabilitation grants totaling $1,650,000.

The grants will be used to empower the four Indiana communities to directly fund homeowners of low-to-moderate income to make needed repairs on their homes.

Grant recipients are:

  • Montgomery County is awarded $450,000
  • Switzerland County is awarded $500,000 
  • The City of Lawrenceburg is awarded $350,000

Communities awarded will set up a program to help fund low- and moderate-income homeowners to make repairs on their homes. Eligible repairs include roof repair or replacement, ADA accessibility, heating and cooling replacement, lighting and electrical upgrades, and water heater replacement.

"All Hoosiers deserve to live in safe and affordable housing across Indiana,” said Lt. Gov. Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. "These grants will help individual homeowners maintain and improve their homes, allowing the entire community to thrive."
