Rural housing preservation grants

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Housing Service awarded a $152,334 Rural Housing Preservation Grant to the Clinch-Powell Resource Conservation And Development Council, Inc., a non-profit organization located in Rutledge, Tennessee. The grant, under CFDA Program 10.433, will fund the organization's efforts to repair and rehabilitate housing for very low- and low-income rural residents across Tennessee. Specifically, the grant supports the organization's provision of housing rehabilitation services, home repairs, and accessibility modifications to help improve living conditions and preserve affordable housing infrastructure in rural communities. As a frequent recipient of USDA grants, the Clinch-Powell Resource Conservation And Development Council, Inc. collaborates with various partners, including Volunteer Tennessee and the Tennessee Housing Development Agency, to leverage additional resources and deliver these critical housing services to economically disadvantaged individuals in rural Tennessee.
