The Town of Middlebury has funds available to assist income-eligible residential property owners with repairs to existing residential properties. Funds can be used to perform a variety of repairs and upgrades including, but not limited to, code violations, increased energy efficiency and other rehabilitation approved by the town.
Eligible items include heating updates; plumbing repairs; electrical updates; roof replacement; and weatherization such as insulation, window replacement and siding. Well and water-line connections and septic and sewer connections also are eligible. All work must conform to state and local codes and will be awarded through a competitive bidding process approved by the town.
Applicants are eligible for participation based upon federal income limits. Maximum gross household income limits vary based on the household size; for example, a family of four would be eligible with a gross household income of $63,900 or less, while a two-person household can earn up to $51,1150 and a one-person household $44,750. Additional eligibility requirements apply.
Applications are available from the first selectman’s office, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or by calling 203-758-2439. Applications are accepted and processed on a first-come, first-served basis pending the availability of funds.
The town has retained the consulting firm of L. Wagner and Associates to implement and administer the program. For more information or technical assistance call 203-573-1188 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
