Peoples State Bank Announces Special Needs Assistance Program Funds Available
MANY, LA - In an effort to meet the needs of our communities, Peoples State Bank is pleased to announce that the Special Needs Assistance Program (SNAP) Grant Funds are now available.
The SNAP Program is made available through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and allows Peoples State Bank to provide grant funds to households occupied by persons with special needs. Rehabilitation and/or modification must be structurally necessary or made for the safety of the special needs resident.
Eligible expenditures under the program include:
(A) Repairs or replacement to a leaking roof
(B) Replacement of sheetrock due to rotten, damaged, or molded walls.
(C) Repair and / or installation of a wheel chair ramp, screen doors, and winterizing windows.
Please remember that the SNAP is NOT A Home Improvement program, but a grant for the repairs, rehabilitation, and modifications of the homeowner’s home that meets the program requirement.
Peoples State Bank has been awarded up to $60,000.00 in funds to assist qualifying special needs individuals with home rehabilitation/modifications cost in our service area. The maximum SNAP award per qualifying household is $5,000.00.
Funds are available on a first – come first serve basis through December 31, 2012 or until funds have been exhausted and are disbursed, whichever comes first.
