Program Description
The Emergency Home Repair (E.H.R.) program is a grant to improve the safety and habitability of a home for qualified homeowners within the City of Bloomington jurisdiction.
A grant of up to $7,500 is available for an owner-occupied home and up to $3,500 for an owner-occupied mobile home.
