Wind Hazard Mitigation, which provides up to $20,000 in the form of a zero-interest, five-year deferred or forgivable loan to assist income-eligible homeowners with window and door shutters and coverings, gable-end tie downs, and upgraded garage doors, and impact rated windows and doors. Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation – Emergency Repair, which provides up to $20,000 in the form of a zero-interest, five-year deferred or forgivable loan to assist income-eligible homeowners with the repair or replacement of one or more of the following housing components: roof, HVAC and septic systems, well water, septic and water hookups, and small accessibility improvements (i.e., wheelchair ramp or grab bars). Community Assistance employees helped 81 residents during a recent outreach event in DeLand, connecting them with programs designed to ease the burden of energy costs and home repair needs. All funds are provided through state and federal grants. Appointments are not required.
