CHRIC provides income-eligible
homeowners financial assistance
to complete repairs that will make their homes safer, healthier and
more affordable.
Most of our programs are targeted to specific communities or specific
types of repairs. Each may have its own guidelines for eligibility.

We
are currently working with the Villages of Sherman, Silver Creek, and
Celoron as well as the Towns of Hanover and Cherry Creek to deliver
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds that were awarded to
these communities to help eligible homeowners with necessary home
repairs.
We also have CDBG funding available county-wide for homeowners who are in need of
repair or replacement of pre-existing water wells or septic systems or
the repair or replacement of pre-existing lateral connections to
municipal water/sewer systems. This program is available countywide,
except for residents of the Cities of Jamestown and Dunkirk (see note below).
We are also working with the Town of Ellington to
deliver a CDBG program that provides
replacement homes for people who own and live in manufactured homes
(trailers) that are in extremely poor condition and can no longer be
repaired properly.
Under
all of theses CDBG programs, you must be a resident of the Village or
the Town (you must pay your property taxes to the specific Village or
Town named).Your home must be single-family and owner-occupied. Your
mortgage and property/school taxes must be current. For the Ellington
Trailer Replacement Program, there cannot be an open mortgage against
the trailer to be replaced and you must own the land upon which the
trailer is located. In addition, your total household income cannot
exceed 80% of the Area Median Income as established by HUD. Income is
based on your gross income (before
any taxes, health care costs or other deductions are taken out of your
check). Total household income includes the income of all members of
the household who are over the age of 18 (unless they are full-time
students) whether they contribute to the household or not. Earned
income of children under the age of 18 is not included, but benefits
(such as Social Security) provided to children under the age of 18 is
counted as household income.
