Sewer Connection Assistance for Low to Moderate Incomes

Monroe County Social Services is seeking applicants to participate in the Countywide Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Program. This program provides funding for sewer connections for income-eligible single-family and multi-family housing units located throughout Monroe County.

All applicants, including tenants of assisted housing units assisted through this program, must be qualified as income-eligible.
