Lancaster County received funds from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development to administer the COVID-19 ARPA Whole-Home Repairs Program, commonly known as Whole Home Repair.
The Whole Home Repair program can assist homeowners throughout Lancaster County, including Lancaster City residents, in addressing livability concerns and code violations, providing modifications for residents with disabilities, and taking steps to improve water and energy efficiency in the home.
Eligible homeowner applicants can receive assistance of up to $25,000 as a grant. Applicants must meet income eligibility criteria and complete the application process in order to qualify for the funding. More information on the program is available at www.lchra.com/whrp.
This program is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) using funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
