The Village of Wauneta along with Southwest Nebraska Community Betterment Corporation are leading a cooperative effort to provide some needed renovation to homes within the incorporated community of Wauneta using funding provided by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development.
    The housing program, referred to as Owner Occupied Rehabilitation, provides families living at a moderate to low income level who own their homes a financial resource to complete renovation work such as new windows, doors, siding, roofing, heating systems and insulation.  The amount of assistance for the qualified homeowner’s are in the form of a “forgivable loan” with no repayment necessary as long as the families maintain the property as their primary residence over the next 10 years at 0 percent interest.
    Families can qualify for assistance through the Village of Wauneta and SWNCBC allowing extensive renovation projects to be accomplished on their homes.  At this time, funding is available for one (1) family to receive up to $24,999 in housing assistance.
