Home and CDBG Rehab

General Rehabilitation: Because of the ongoing support of Mayor Joe Sinnott and the efforts of the City of Erie Dept. of Economic and Community Development, ERA is able to offer assistance in the form of home rehabilitation to income-qualified homeowners to repair basic building systems such as roofs, electrical, plumbing, and to address lead-based paint hazards.  General housing rehabilitation is targeted to the Community Development Impact Area, as defined by the City of Erie. Generally, that area is bounded by the north side of 26th Street, North to the bayfront, and Cranberry or Raspberry Street east to the city line.ERA performs some work on rental properties, mostly limited to lead hazard control and handicap accessibility modivfication. Depending on funding rules and availability, general rehabilitation assistance may be used for the second unit of owner-occupied duplexes.
