What Is The
Housing Services Program?
¨ Western
Egyptian uses Federal and State funding sources such as HUD, Rural
Development, and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity to achieve the goal of helping low income people in the
service area. The area includes Jackson, Monroe, Perry, and
Randolph County.
¨ Starting
with Weatherization in 1974 programs have expanded to include Single
Family Housing Rehabilitation, Home buyer Assistance, Home
Inspections and Energy Audits, Multi-Family Rental, and most
recently Transitional.
How Can We Help?
Local Governments and Agencies
¨ Staff
can help communities, cities, villages, counties, not-for profit
agencies and others and apply for and operate housing programs. The
amount of help may vary from referrals to “turnkey solutions.” This
solution could include a complete application packet with submission
to a funding agency, post application materials, taking and
processing client applications, estimating work needed on a home,
developing bid packages and securing bids, inspecting works
performed on a home, on program close out documents.
Families and Individuals
¨ Call
the local office to discuss your housing problem. A questionnaire
is completed over the phone or in person to help find the areas with
which we can assist. Western Egyptian may be able to help you with
one of several agency programs, or we may refer you to other sources
of assistance within the agency’s housing network system.
Home Inspection and Energy Audits
¨ The
inspection and the audit are professional examinations performed by
an experienced inspector. The inspections and audits are done for
individuals, lenders, Federal and State agencies, Realtors and any
other groups where the service is needed. There is a fee for this
service, however, it is set on a sliding scale so that they are
affordable for everyone.
