A $695,000 New York State Block Grant will fund essential home repairs for about 14 low-to-moderate-income homeowners in Danby and West Danby. The grant will cover energy-efficient upgrades, roof replacements, and structural fixes to improve living conditions.
Officials note that many aging homes, often owned by retirees on fixed incomes, have fallen into disrepair. Previous grants helped renovate 12 homes, but demand remains high. This new funding will also address stricter lead and radon remediation requirements.
Homeowners in need of assistance can contact the Danby Town Offices for eligibility details. The program aims to prevent worsening home conditions and ensure safer housing for residents.
