Governor Hochul extends application deadline for income eligible homeowners to apply for emergency repair grants for July and August extreme weather events

ALBANY- Governor Kathy Hochul has announced an extension on the application deadline for homeowners to apply for emergency repair grants for the July and August 2024 extreme weather events across the state.

Under this program, administered by Homes and Community Renewal (HCR), emergency home repair assistance is available to eligible homeowners who live in counties impacted by a string of severe weather events from over the summer.

Locally for the North Country, this includes Lewis County (for severe weather on July 10 and 16) and Jefferson County (for severe weather on August 9 – 10).

“These emergency repair grants are giving families the opportunity to rebuild — providing a lifeline to New Yorkers as they recover from these devastating storms,” the Governor said.

Funds are available to eligible homeowners for their primary residence where flood or insurance coverage or other forms of disaster recovery funds are not sufficient to return the home to a safe and habitable condition.
