Grants available to help homeowners

Aug 16, 2011

Low interest home rehabilitation grants are now available through the town. The interest rate is 3% on grants of up to $30,000. The grants are being offered to homeowners in Wareham who meet the state’s income guidelines and who reside in the “target areas” in town.

Qualified homeowners may use the program to upgrade plumbing, septic systems, wells, heating, electrical, carpentry, insulation, roofing, handicap improvements, and more.

The Wareham Community & Economic Development Authority will assist the homeowner in determining the scope of work needed.

To find out if you meet the income limits for the program and if your home is in the target area, please contact Marlene at 508-291-3100 extension 3171 or Karen at 508-291-3100 extension 3170.
