ADRIAN — The city of Adrian has received word that it was awarded $472,000 from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority to help low-income and moderate-income homeowners make necessary home repairs.

The funds are to be spent over a two-year period. City administrator Greg Elliott said the funds are intended to be renewable, so the hope is that Adrian can continue to receive these grants and help residents improve their homes and neighborhoods.

Elliott said details about how homeowners can apply for the program should be available by sometime in June.
