Through the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, the City of Monterey will provide assistance to homeowners maintaining their homes through small repairs. Financial assistance is limited per household and after assistance there is a three year waiting period. Assistance is provided as a grant, and funds need not be repaid unless fraudulently obtained.

To be eligible, the home must be the homeowner's primary residence (owner occupied). The owner's income must be 80% of median or below. The property must be a single family residence within the City of Monterey.

The following are examples of items eligible for funding:

• Small plumbing and electrical repairs.
• Repair or replacement of toilets, windows, doors and hardware.
• Repairs or replacements of water and wall heaters.
