Rural housing preservation grants

Hogansburg Housing Development Fund Co Inc. received a $148,127 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service under the Rural Housing Preservation Grants program (CFDA 10.433), awarded on August 29, 2026, with a completion date of October 29, 2027. This funding supports the repair and rehabilitation of owner-occupied homes, rental properties, and cooperative housing units for very low- and low-income residents in rural New York. The grant enables the awardee to deliver housing preservation services that address substandard housing conditions and improve living standards for eligible rural households.

Under this award, the Rural Housing Service provides financial assistance to help rural homeowners and rental property owners undertake necessary repairs and rehabilitations to their dwellings. The program prioritizes projects serving non-metropolitan areas with populations below 10,000 and requires that administrative costs not exceed 20 percent of grant funds. As a nonprofit corporation awardee, Hogansburg Housing Development Fund Co Inc. must demonstrate prior experience in housing rehabilitation or weatherization and document its capacity to serve very low- and low-income populations effectively throughout the grant period.
