3/19/14 - Livingston County residents are being encouraged to see if they qualify for home repairs related to health and safety. The Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency and Livingston County are collaborating to rehabilitate low-to-moderate income owner-occupied homes for health and safety reasons. OLHSA is a community action agency and plans to utilize funds from a current Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) grant to help those in need of major home repairs. The grant will allow for repairs to roofs, siding and gutters; the removal of lead based paint hazards, the repair or replacement of heating systems, windows and exterior doors as well as the installation of ramps to help upgrade homes for handicap accessibility. Participants must reside in the Villages of Pinckney and Fowlerville or the Cities of Brighton and Howell to qualify. Depending on how many people live in the household, participants must also have a median household income equal to or less than $72,000. The deadline for applications is April 11th. Anyone interested in more information or to see if they qualify is asked to contact OLHSA at 517-546-8500 ext. 4104. (JM)
