Veterans home rehabilation program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the Veterans Housing Rehabilitation and Modification Program (CFDA 14.278) to Family & Community Services, Inc. (FCS) to rehabilitate and modify the primary residences of disabled and low-income veterans. The 3-year grant, with a period of performance from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2026, will enable FCS, a non-profit organization based in Ravenna, Ohio, to install wheelchair ramps, widen doorways, reconfigure bathrooms, and implement other accessibility and safety improvements to help eligible veterans regain or maintain independence in their homes. The grant supports FCS's mission of providing a range of social services to vulnerable populations, including veterans, through its Center of Hope program, which has a proven track record of delivering critical support services to veterans and the homeless under previous federal contracts and grants.
