USDA Invests $3.7M to Repair Rural Housing; $75K to Lake County

This week, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is investing $3.7 million to help rural families across the country repair and rehabilitate their homes.  The grants are being funded through the Housing Preservation Grant (HPG) program. 

Of these monies, $75,000 will be used by Habitat for Humanity to assist 13 low income homeowners in Lake County.  Further, Habitat for Humanity is providing $33,000 of its own resources for this project.

Lake County was recently ravaged by one of California’s worst wildfires, scorching more than 76,000 acres and destroying nearly 2000 homes.
