Understanding Home Repair Assistance Programs
Necessary home repairs can be expensive, especially when unexpected roofing, siding, structural, or safety issues arise. Fortunately, some Wisconsin homeowners may qualify for financial assistance through housing rehabilitation programs supported by the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
Established in 1974 and funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), CDBG provides funding to eligible state and local governments for community development activities, including certain housing improvements.
CDBG assistance is not necessarily a grant that homeowners receive without repayment. Depending on the program, funding may be offered as a loan, deferred-payment loan, forgivable loan, or grant. Eligibility and repayment requirements vary by location and administering agency.
What Types of Home Repairs May Qualify?
Depending on the local program, eligible repairs may include:
- Roofing repairs and replacement
- Siding and exterior repairs
- Window and door replacement
- Structural and safety improvements
- Plumbing, electrical, and heating system repairs
- Accessibility improvements
The administering agency determines eligibility, approved repairs, and available funding.
FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAMS
On August 22, 1974, President Gerald R. Ford signed a law creating one of HUD’s hallmark programs – the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 merged seven competitive grant programs into a block grant, providing local communities the flexibility to decide how best to meet their community development needs.
For the next 40 years, thousands of cities, urban counties, and rural communities have come to rely upon this critical resource, investing $144 billion to undertake various activities, from improving public facilities to producing affordable housing. CDBG funds are distributed to state and local governments each year according to their population, poverty, and other housing variables.
CDBG’s impact can be measured in every corner of the U.S. and the lives of millions of Americans, 95% of whom are low- to moderate-income citizens. Last year alone, the program allowed state and local governments to help nearly 28,000 individuals find permanent employment or keep their full-time jobs. CDBG also supported the rehabilitation of almost 95,000 homes and financed public improvement projects that benefitted an estimated 3.3 million community residents from coast to coast.

Where Can Wisconsin Homeowners Learn More?
CDBG housing rehabilitation programs are administered through designated local governments and regional housing authorities.
For example, the City of Wausau administers its own housing rehabilitation program for eligible properties within city limits. Other eligible communities in Marathon County may be served through the Central CDBG Housing Region, administered by the Juneau County Housing Authority.
