CARMEL – Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley, working in partnership with the Putnam Housing Corporation, is awarding up to $2,500 in grants to senior citizens for correction of housing conditions and minor modifications that threaten their health and safety.
Housing Corporation Deputy Director Denene Makkay said the Senior Repair Program regulations require applicants be 60 years of age or older, a resident of the county and live in the owner-occupied dwelling. “This is a first come, first serve application process and participants must be income eligible,” she said.
Those interested must provide copies of their deed to property; paid school and county tax bill; most recently signed tax returns; pension documentation; income documentation for all household members along with a driver’s license or photo identification.
Information may be dropped off with an application at the Housing Corporation’s new headquarters at 102 Gleneida Avenue in Carmel.
Additional information is available by contacting Makkay at 845-225-8493, ext. 211 or Renee McEntee at 845-225-8493, ext. 214.
