Loudoun County is offering information sessions in February and March on home improvement program grants available to Loudoun County residents. All sessions are free, but seating is limited and registration is required.
Home Improvement Program Grants
Three home improvement program grants are available to Loudoun County residents, depending on eligibility. The Loudoun County Department of Housing and Community Development team assists residents in assessing eligibility and completing an application.
- The Home Accessibility and Repair Program offers a one-time grant of up to $10,000 to homeowner-occupants for repairs and accessibility improvements. The grant amount may be increased to a maximum of $24,999.99 on a case-by-case basis. To be eligible, an applicant’s total household income must be at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (includes gross income of all household members).
- The Granting Freedom Program offers grants of up to $8,000 for homeowner-occupants and renters offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Grants may be used for renovations to make homes more accessible to Virginia service members and veterans who sustained a line-of-duty injury resulting in a service-connected disability. Renovations may include installation of ramps, and chairlifts, widening of doorways and sidewalks, remote entry devices, and/or alterations to bathrooms and kitchens.
