Our Home Improvement Program, funded by the NYS Affordable Housing Corporation (NYS AHC), provides grants up to $40,000. To qualify, you must own and reside in a single-family home in the South End. Homeowners are eligible if their household income is 112% or under the annual median income (AMI) for the Albany-Schenectady-Troy Metropolitan Area.
* We recommend filling out a Pre-Eligibility Application even when programs are closed. If a slot opens, we do refer to these applications for new clients!
