Commissioners commit $57,000 local match for owner-occupied rehab grant application
Summary
Fayette County approved Resolution 25‑R‑5 to authorize submission of an owner‑occupied rehab (OOR) grant application and commit $57,000 in county general funds as the local match for roughly $500,000 in grant funds; staff announced a public hearing next Tuesday at 5 p.m.
Commissioners voted to authorize the county commission president to sign application documents and to commit $57,000 from county general funds as the local match for an owner-occupied rehabilitation (OOR) grant application.
Greg Clymer, representing Klein Peter Consulting, told commissioners the county is applying for roughly $500,000 in grant funds and that the local match is about 10 percent ($57,000). He described eligible activities including roof replacement, heating and cooling upgrades, electrical work, water heaters and accessibility improvements; renovations to a structure beyond those items are not covered. Income eligibility was summarized: for a one‑person household the threshold was stated as $47,550 and for two people $54,450, with higher limits for larger households.
Clymer said award notices would likely come about a month after the application deadline and that construction would likely occur in early spring, noting radon testing and home inspections are required for each property. Commissioners approved Resolution 25‑R‑5 by motion (recorded on the minutes) and were told a public information hearing on the program would be held locally next Tuesday at 5:00 p.m.
Next steps: staff will provide signed documents to the consultant and hold the scheduled public hearing to allow prospective applicants to learn about eligibility and application processes.
