Chester County launches Whole-Home Repairs program
Where does the money for Whole-Home Repairs Come from?
Funding for the initiative came by way of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s allocation of American Rescue Plan Act money. State Sen. Nikil Saval introduced the Whole-Home Repairs program in 2022 as part of the state budget.
Philadelphia and its collar counties were slated to receive a combined $40 million.
While $50 million of Whole-Home Repairs funding is stuck in limbo due to the need for “additional legislative language,” Chester County’s allocation was not impacted. The county received its entire funding package.
