Director Jason Doucette had suggested to town officials that a portion of the Community Block Grant be set aside to provide reimbursement assistance to qualified homeowners in certain neighborhoods.
This program is intended to provide help to those who do not qualify for "Rebuilding Together", a fantastic program that provides housing upgrades to residents in need.
Doucette said, "If someone could benefit from a fresh coat of paint, we should have money set aside."
Property owners could be reimbursed up to $500 for paint and supplies. Labor is not immediately included unless the homeowner is elderly or disabled. If that is the case, they may be eligible for an additional $500 reimbursement.
