State Law Trend: Home Repair Funding Programs

What is happening? The State Budget in Pennsylvania created the $125 million Whole-Home Repair Program that will offer grants of up to $50,000 for people to repair, improve and weatherize their homes. 

Why is this important? The program is for homeowners, tenants in a smaller building, and small landlords with a need for critical repair. There’s an income requirement for grant recipients.

How will this be important? PA has a Republican controlled Legislature and the program came from a self-described Democratic socialist lawmaker.
