A resolution authorizing a grant to be submitted to the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority was approved by Knox City Council members Tuesday night.
Mayor Dennis Estok explained that officials will be applying for an owner-occupied housing rehabilitation grant that is geared toward helping low and moderate income individuals as well as those with disabilities.
Mayor Estok indicated that the funding would help offset the cost of various rehabilitation projects including those that have to do with electricity, plumbing or roof work.
Estok also shared what the next step will be if the grant funding is received, “Basically, if we get the grant then we will take applications from people and make sure they qualify.”
Anyone who thinks they would benefit from this program is encouraged to attend a public hearing at Knox City Hall which is set for 10 a.m. on Monday, December 17th. Mayor Estok said more details about the program will be shared at that time.
If you have any questions, contact the Mayor’s Office at 574-772-4553.
