Rocket, you are not understanding the chart. You ARE low income. You make less than 50% of the median annual income. Go ahead and do nothing. Just assume that you are right (which you are not) and miss out on furthering the process. I swear. You like to complain and not do the homework it takes to better yourself. We will be here to remind you that there was help, but you are too stubborn to ask questions and get the facts. Why do think I'm disabled. I have a learning disability since birth. I been bitching to get someone to advocate for me in my behalf that understands this stuff and can't find someone to be my advocate to help me. I talk about these grants I'm looking for and my caseworker from mental health says there's no such thing as grants for disabled people to get for home repairs, new car ,pay bills with.Says its all scams .

Well this isn’t a scam. Email Tara and ask her who could help you apply, since you don’t understand. I’m sure she can direct you since they are looking for applicants.

WCMY news for 10/19/23 There’s no update following the discovery of a body in a narrow alley between Sterling Avenue and Laura Street in Streator around 5:00 a.m. Wednesday. Streator Police Chief John Franklin says 30-year-old Joshua Salters was shot several times sometime during the early hours of Wednesday. Chief Franklin says investigation results were scarce as of midday Wednesday, but forensic evidence was being collected from the scene. A cell phone believed to be Salters’ was found at the scene. The La County Sheriff’s Office and La Salle County State’s Attorney are working with Streator police on the ongoing investigation.

Ok filled out the survey mailed it back. Got repairs that will cost up to $120,000. But it only goes up to $50,000 on the grant.
My list of repairs
New windows New porch New roof New heating ducts. Electrical,gas,water lines replaced, New water heater And the biggie,my foundation needs repaired because there is a mine under my house thats causing my foundation to crack and crumble And major stress cracks in my walls upstairs. Got a big hole in my wall that the insurance inspector and contractor missed in 2010 from the tornado The tornado imploded my bedroom wall behind the bed. Got it all duck taped up.

Is that your own estimated guess as to cost of repairs or did you actually gather estimates from licensed contractors after having the place inspected? The worst case scenario way of thinking you have probably isn’t accurate. Is your foundation brick? Are your walls original plaster? Why do you need new heating ducts? We just ran ductwork in a house. Installed a new AC unit; a new backup forced air furnace; new water heater, new plumbing when we moved a kitchen to another location and it wasn’t as much as you would think it would cost. Call a professional Rocket and get actual estimates. It’ll be a requirement when (if) you actually follow through on trying to secure a grant. Don’t talk yourself out of going to the informational meeting either.

Quit guesstimating. I don't need to. According to that survey,someone is supposed to come and inspect the repairs Needed and will know what its gonna cost and how much grant money I'll recieve. I can tell you those repairs are gonna cost more than 50,000. Cause thats how much my insurance paid for damages done to my house from the tornado. Which covered for a new roof,siding ,broken window,front and back doors Plaster wall repair. Just the house. Cost more to replace the garage. That very little done on the house cost total 50,000 insurance paid. And paid a total of 12,000 on my garage 2 separate policies That was in 2010. Replacement costs have doubled now compared to 2010.

Think what you want but you only filled out a survey. They wouldn’t be holding this meeting if it wasn’t going to provide further information and answer questions. Do MORE than the bare minimum Rocket. Put some effort in and attend the meeting.

Anyway, your taxes on your home were less than $1,000 last year. It’s not like you are putting on an addition. Keep coming up with every reason why you won’t or can’t qualify for this potential Grant. Nobody stands in your way more than you do, Rocket.
