Wellington is now accepting applications for its Great Neighborhoods Grant. The grant provides qualified homeowners assistance in making health, safety and energy-efficient repairs to their homes.
The grant is open to income-eligible, owner-occupied residents of Wellington and requires a dollar-for-dollar match by the applicant. Some examples of repairs that may be done using the grant funds are: repair/replace roof; repair/replace water heater; repair/replace doors, windows and window screens; installation of hurricane hardening improvements such as shutters and doors; and landscaping, sidewalks, garages and driveways when accompanied by other rehabilitation needed on the property.
The grant application is currently available online at the Wellington Grants web page, which includes a checklist of required documentation. Some of the items may take additional time to collect. Only completed applications will be accepted. For more information, call the Community Services Office at (561) 791-4796.
