Greece Residential Improvement Program (GRIP)

What is The Greece Residential Improvement Program (GRIP)?

The Greece Residential Improvement Program (GRIP) provides a grant to income-eligible, single-family homeowners in need of interior and exterior home repairs. The Town of Greece will work with you in prioritizing which repairs your home needs most. The Federal Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) funds GRIP.

The Town of Greece and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (US HUD) have worked together to set GRIP’s eligibility requirements. Qualified homeowners may be eligible for a subsidy that could pay up to 100% of the project cost, not exceeding a maximum grant amount of $7,500. If project costs exceed the maximum grant amount, the homeowner will be responsible for paying the difference. Each home & homeowner is eligible for GRIP twice. The 2nd and final grant can be applied for after 5 years for 75% of the current grant amount.
