INDIANAPOLIS – Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs today announced four Indiana communities are awarded Owner Occupied Rehabilitation grants totaling $1,650,000.

The grants will be used to empower the four Indiana communities to directly fund homeowners of low-to-moderate income to make needed repairs on their homes.
