The tenant-based rental assistance is provided in coordination with Shelby Metropolitan Housing Authority.
The repair program provides assistance for houses experiencing a major defect such as a faulty furnace, septic system or leaky roof. CHIP-Program; CLIENT-APPLICATION-incl-FH-and-Lead-brochures
