Mayor set aside $2M for Roof Repair
While many of the homes to be repaired through the Blue Tarp Program were initially damaged in Hurricane Ike, any tarp-covered roof of income-qualifying homeowners will be considered. Rental properties do not qualify. For information about the program or to determine if you qualify, contact the HCDD Call Center at 832-394-6200. (from the Mayor's website)
I received the following email from one of our efamily members, Paul Joseph.
I received the following email from one of our efamily members, Paul Joseph.
I attended a very insightful
meeting last night at the 5th Ward Multi-Service Center, attached is an application form to be completed by senior citizen home owners (all Harris
County residents) in order to be considered for roof repairs. This is a
very simple 4 page application form, seniors can call Houston Housing and
Community Development Department for assistance and questions. Roof repairs can range from $10,000 - $25,000 based on inspections by COH contractors. The project will last until the
funds run out; I understand the COH just received an additional $2 million, so
hurry! PLEASE SPREAD THE
WORD!
He sent me the form which he said is easy to fill out (if you need the form contact the city at 311) or email Paul B. Joseph, PhD ThD <joalcompany@gmail.com> or me.
