Housing Rehabilitation Grant
The City of Spring Valley, with the help of the North Central Illinois Council of Governments (NCICG), is reapplying for a Housing Rehabilitation Grant to assist qualified homeowners who lack the financial resources to make necessary improvements to their homes and neighborhoods. Qualifying surveys will be included with the grant application to demonstrate the need for such a program in our community.
In the last five years, NCICG has administered eight applications across six communities in our region, resulting in a total of 85 rehabilitated homes. Work will soon begin in an additional 12 communities. Let’s not miss out on this great opportunity for our city.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Melanie Malooley-Thompson
