The Town of Cicero’s Department of Housing is actively working on enhancing and updating its Housing Rehabilitation Programs, reflecting a commitment to improving housing conditions and supporting residents in maintaining and upgrading their homes. As new information and updates are finalized, they will be promptly shared with the community.

Currently, the Department offers several valuable programs for homeowner-occupied residential units, each designed to address specific needs:

Emergency Access Grant For People With Disabilities: This program focuses on providing necessary modifications to homes, ensuring accessibility for residents with disabilities.

Emergency Assistance Program: Aimed at addressing urgent repair needs that pose immediate risks to the safety and well-being of residents.

Home Repair Program: Offers support for various home repair needs, helping homeowners maintain their properties in good condition.

Lead Hazard Reduction: This program is crucial for ensuring homes are safe and free from lead-based hazards, which is particularly important in older properties.

Looking ahead, the Town of Cicero is considering the expansion of its Residential Rehabilitation Program to include more comprehensive services. Proposed additions include:

Expanded Home Repair Program: This would broaden the scope of the current home repair assistance, potentially covering more types of repairs or a larger segment of the community.

Weatherization Program: Aiming to help residents improve their homes’ insulation and sealing to reduce energy costs and enhance comfort.

Energy Efficiency Program: This program would focus on upgrades and improvements that increase the energy efficiency of homes, reducing utility costs and environmental impact.

As these plans are still in the developmental stage, more details will be provided to the public as they become available. The Town of Cicero is dedicated to keeping residents informed and involved in these enhancements to their housing support services. Residents interested in these programs or seeking more information should keep an eye on the designated information channels for updates.
