Bethel to Apply for Housing Rehabilitation Grant Seeks input from Residents

White Lake – The Town of Bethel will be applying for a Small Cities Community Development Block Grant. The town is currently conducting a needs survey of low-moderate income, owner occupied, single-family property owners. Two public hearings have been set for January 28^th at 7:45 p.m. and February 4th at 1 p.m. at the Dr. Duggan Community Center, 3460 Route 55, White Lake. In order for the town to qualify it must show a need in the community. Contingent upon the successful award of grant funding, homeowners may qualify for grant assistance with insulation, roofing, septic, heating, electric, windows, architectural barriers and any other needs that may pose a threat to the health and safety of the occupants. The survey will determine the number of low income people in need as well as the types of repairs that are needed in the Town. Dan Sturm Town Supervisor stated that “the town has assisted residents in the past under this grant opportunity and hopes to fill the needs of its residents again in 2015. I encourage residents to pick up an application before the deadline to help the town during the needs survey process.” Deadline for residents to apply is February 13, 2015. Applications are available both online and at the Bethel Town Hall, 3454 Route 55, White Lake, NY. Assistance is available to complete the application.
