have included on the Senior Task Force web site (seniortaskforce.org) the text
from a handout received today from Susan Petrea of the Rural Development Area
Office. It details information on loans and (some) grants available for
home repair in rural areas. While recipients do not have to be seniors,
they can be and being on a fixed income (such as social security) does not
disqualify anyone. At least part of the money is ARRA funds and they are
eager to let people know the program is available. You might want to take
a look and pass the information on to anyone you know who might find it of interest.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
