RE: Homeowner Rehabilitation Program

Dear IURA Member,

On behalf of Tompkins County Office of the Aging (COFA), I fully support INHS’s application for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). This funding would allow INHS to continue its successful work in providing housing rehabilitation to low-income City of Ithaca residents. COFA recognizes that many homes need significant assistance to remain safe and healthy for habitation. We understand that INHS has a long waitlist of low-income homeowners struggling to keep their homes safe and livable.

COFA’s mission is to assist older adults and persons with long term care needs to live independently in their homes and communities with quality of life and dignity. We provide a wide variety of services to the aging and disabled population in both the City of Ithaca, as well as Tompkins County as a whole. Through this work, we refer clients to the INHS Rehabilitation Program, as we encounter many health and safety needs that are out of the scope of our services. Over the last year, we have seen an uptick in the need for walk-in showers, wheelchair ramps, and new roofs.

We believe this program will significantly improve the lives of low- and moderate-income residents of Tompkins County who do not have other means to improve and preserve their homes.

Sincerely,

Lisa Monroe Director
