Buncombe County has been awarded $400,000 in CDBG Neighborhood Revitalization (CDBG-NR) funding through the North Carolina Department of Commerce Rural Economic Development Division (REDD) to conduct owner-occupied repair activities. The project meets the CDBG national objective to benefit existing low- and moderate-income households with incomes at or below 80% area median income will be considered for participation.
The program seeks to expand Buncombe County’s home repair work and allow partners to identify issues in homes that affect the health, safety, and well-being of residents where such repair costs would approach $30,000 per residence. This increased allocation per residence can provide for more comprehensive emergency repairs. Buncombe County seeks a provider (or providers) to administer and deliver eligible single-family repair projects with funds provided under the CDBG-NR program. Project administrators must be capable of delivering projects in accordance with requirements of Buncombe County and the CDBG program.
