Veterans in nine Missouri counties could get free home repairs.
The catch is that they’ll have to do some of the work themselves.
The North East Community Action Corporation is offering the home renovation program. Funding comes from a federal Department of Housing and Urban Development Veterans Services Grant.
The program covers Lewis, Lincoln, Marion, Monroe, Montgomery, Pike, Ralls, Shelby and Warren counties.
Participants must own their homes and do part of the work under NECAC’s direction. Projects can include disabled accessibility, flooring, decks and other repairs.
Applications are available by calling NECAC at 573-324-6622.
