Lawton woman gets home renovated through Homeowner Rehabilitation Project

An Oklahoma woman is thanking the City of Lawton for making renovations to her home that she’s lived in for 50 years.

It was made possible through The Housing and Community Development Division. It’s a project that allows for low income homeowners to have renovations done to the inside of their home.

The Housing and Community Development Division sponsors multiple renovations a year through federal grants.

 

Every year they receive about $1,000,000. All the homeowner has to do is move out and pay a percentage of the costs.

“The federal grant pays for every drop of this. They pay for the contractor, they pay for the management, and my staff is totally funded through the grant,” said Administrator of Housing Community Development, Christine James.

For more information, or to apply for this project you can visit The Housing and Community Development Division’s office inside the Owen’s Multipurpose Center on 11th street.
