Greene County approves grant-funded single-family rehabilitation loan program

Greene County commissioners unanimously approved a grant project budget ordinance to continue a single-family rehabilitation loan program that uses grant dollars to fund preapproved home improvements for qualifying individuals.

The county manager described the measure as the '24 ESF, ESFRLP central single family rehabilitation loan program' and said the program "will help qualifying individuals with preapproved home improvements, have these home improvements done, with grant dollars." Commissioners asked how many homes would be served; the manager said that in past years "there have been quite a few" but did not provide a current count and referenced a qualification matrix.

After brief questions, the board moved and seconded the ordinance and voted 'aye'; the chair stated the motion carried unanimously. The program was presented as continuing an existing county effort to improve quality of life for some residents. The transcript does not specify the total grant amount, the precise number of homes expected to be served, or the specific funding source name beyond 'grant dollars.'
