“Only a sliver of the 17,000 applicants — 3,965 homeowners — got a share of the $125 million Whole Home Repairs Program’s funding, according to the state Department of Community and Economic Development.

Just three counties have spent all of their program funds before the Jan. 31, 2026 deadline: Bradford, Cameron and McKean.”
