CMHDC administers federal and state grants for home improvement. All programs have special guidelines and/or restrictions. All applicants must be income qualified, own and occupy the home, and have proof of paid taxes and paid home owner’s insurance. In all cases, a lien is placed on the home, whereby CMHDC collects the pro-rated amount owed if the home is sold before the lien expires.
