Announcement:
This year’s program funding has been fully allocated and we are unable to accept new applications at this time. The Town will announce a new round of GRIP funding next year, so please check back online or contact the GRIP office with questions. We look forward to continuing to improve the quality of our neighborhoods by assisting Greece residents in making necessary home repairs via the GRIP grant.
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 homeowner is eligible for GRIP only twice. A 2nd and final grant may be applied for after 5 years and is eligible for up to 75% of the current grant amount.
