MANATEE COUNTY, FL — Around $1.6 million in financial assistance is available to low-income homeowners in Manatee County for housing rehabilitation and replacement. Through Feb. 19, homeowners can apply for assistance through the Manatee County Redevelopment and Economic Opportunity (REO) department's Housing Rehabilitation/Replacement Program, according to a county news release. The program provides low-income, owner-occupied households with no-interest, deferred-payment 30-year loans to make code-related repairs to single-family homes or replace dilapidated single-family housing structures, the county said. Through this program, housing conditions can be corrected to improve the health, safety and welfare for the people who live there. Like what you're reading?
