Need help making your home safe? Here’s your chance

Low-income Peoria Heights residents who could use a helping hand to make their homes safer are invited to an informational meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 6, at the St. Thomas Church Parish Hall, 904 E. Lake Ave.

The Village of Peoria Heights is partnering with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the METEC Resource Center on the Healthy Homes Program, which aims to dispense grant dollars toward a long list of home improvements including radon, lead and mold remediation; window, door and siding replacement; roof, structure and electrical improvements; and other life/safety enhancements.

Four Peoria County ZIP codes including 61616 in Peoria Heights are eligible for the federal assistance, totaling $2 million. Individual homeowners can get up to $7,500 toward $10,000 or more in home improvements. Eligible in the Heights are the residents of Census Tract 43, roughly bounded by Prospect Road on the east, Toledo Avenue on the north, Indiana and Boulevard avenues on the west, and Wilson Avenue on the south.

To qualify for the program, residents must own and live in their homes and earn less than 80 percent of the area’s median income, which translates to no more than $50,600 for a single person, $72,250 for a family of four, up to $95,400 for a family of eight.

Village officials will be available to answer questions at the Nov. 6 program, including Community Development Director Wayne Aldrich. Applications for the assistance are due by 5:00pm on Friday, December 15, 2023, with grant awards to be announced on May 1, 2024.
