Owner-Occupied Home Rehabilitation Program

The City of Decatur is inviting contractors to apply for home rehabilitation projects as part of a multi-million-dollar neighborhood revitalization initiative. More than $6 million in ARPA funding has been allocated for home rehabilitation by the Decatur City Council. Over the next two years, the City hopes to rehab 150-300 homes.

The Owner-Occupied rehabilitation program is a lottery that targets the City’s urban core. Homeowners inside the targeted neighborhoods complete a pre-application, and those selected are notified by mail. This program is CLOSED at this time.

Some of the program objectives are:

  1. To remove unhealthy or hazardous housing conditions in low- and moderate-income areas
  2. To revitalize and preserve the existing housing stock
  3. To preserve and increase the property values in low-and moderate-income neighborhoods
  4. To encourage employment and training opportunities for residents and minority persons through the opportunity to bid on housing rehab programs
  5. To create sustainable mixed-income neighborhoods in the urban core
