Is there any funding available to low-income homeowners for installing a water treatment system at a private residence?
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development’s Home Improvement and Repair Loans and Grants Program (Section 504) funding may be available to very low-income homeowners in qualifying communities. These loans or grants may be used by homeowners to address general repairs to improve or modernize, weatherize and/or remove code violations This program may be used for on-site water treatment systems, and hook-up costs to municipal systems that are necessary for the safe and sanitary condition of the dwelling. This program is available in rural communities and small-incorporated towns/cities of up to 10,000 population. Some communities of between 10,000 to 20,000 populations may be eligible.
