WESTMORELAND COUNTY TO MOVE FUNDS TO HELP IMPROVE ACCESS TO LOW INCOME HOMES

Westmoreland County will move some funds around to help improve access to low income homes over the next 20 months.  The Trib reports that the county commissioners yesterday approved reallocating $200,000 to cover additional costs for ADA projects as part of the county’s Whole Home Repair program started in 2023, including installation of outside ramps and chairlifts for disabled low-income homeowners.  The originally $102,000 out of the $1.6 million in ARP funds set aside for such projects has already been exhausted.
