Millsboro Seeks State Funds for Home Repairs

Millsboro is doubling down on its bid for state Community Development Block Grant money, aiming to fund critical home repairs and neighborhood improvements for low-income residents. After a public meeting and strong backing from county rehab specialist Joe Douglas—who highlighted past successes—the town council unanimously approved moving forward with the application. The grants require homeowners to live in their homes post-repair and come with a tax lien for five to ten years to prevent property flipping. Meanwhile, Sussex County offers immediate help for urgent issues like water, power, or heating problems—and even accessibility upgrades for people with disabilities. Millsboro’s push shows serious commitment to turning state funds into real, lasting support for its community. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
