The Western Catskills Community Revitalization Council, Inc. (WCCRC-New York) announced last week that they will be hosting a Homeownership Academy for residents who are interested in the WCCRC manufactured home replacement program.
A number of topics associated with homeownership will be covered at the academy, including information for owners of older manufactured homes who are interested in a manufactured home replacement.
The WCCRC recently secured two grants to put on the academy and replace dilapidated manufactured homes, in the Delaware County town of Stamford and the Schoharie County town of Conesville.
General eligibility for these grants will be based on household income, ownership of the property where the existing home is located, and the condition of the home. The home must be the permanent, year-round residence of owners and/or applicants.
“We are pleased that the town has received this grant funding and this can be a great opportunity for residents who qualify for the program,” said Stamford Town Supervisor Mike Triolo.
The Daily Business News has covered recent moves in both New York State with NYS Homes and Community Renewal and nationally with legislation put forward by Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) to assist owners of older manufactured homes in replacing them with safer, more efficient ones.
Owners of homes that are residents in other parts of WCCRC’s service area are also encouraged to consider enrolling in Homeownership Academy. Classes are expected to begin in February 2017, and space is limited. Contact Kelly at (607) 652-2823, extension 101. ##
