The Putnam County Housing Corporation (PCHC) has $200,000 in funding to continue its Home Improvement Program through the New York State Affordable Housing Corporation. The program will assist homeowners with repairs such as structural, safety and code upgrades, roofs, windows and heating systems with grants up to $25,000.
