Applications are now being accepted from single-family homeowners who need help paying for roof replacement.  The Program will provide financial assistance to replace the roofs for 60 owner-occupants who own a single-family home located in the city of Rochester.

To be eligible, homeowners must also meet income guidelines, be current with City and County property tax payments, not be subjected to a tax or mortgage foreclosure and agree to live at the property for three years after receiving assistance.  A total of 60 names (pre-applications) will be randomly selected from a pool of applicants.
