The City of New Port Richey is now accepting applications for housing rehabilitation and replacement assistance through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. This program provides crucial support to owner-occupied households looking to improve their living conditions. Eligible homeowners may receive assistance in the form of a no-interest deferred-payment loan, which helps address urgent housing needs without imposing immediate financial burdens. The initiative is designed to meet HUD's national objectives and specifically targets the revitalization of low to moderate-income areas. By facilitating home improvements, the program aims to enhance community welfare and overall living standards.

Applications are now open, and interested residents are urged to apply soon, as funding may be limited. This opportunity underscores the city's proactive approach to addressing housing challenges and supporting its residents. The CDBG Program represents a vital resource for those in need of housing assistance, ensuring that necessary repairs and improvements can be made to foster safer and healthier neighborhoods.
