Hoeven Announces $50K in Federal Funding to Assist Low-Income Homeowners in Pembina County

WASHINGTON — Senator John Hoeven, who serves on the U.S. Senate Appropriations and Agriculture Committees, today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Rural Development has awarded $50,000 to the Red River Regional Council through its Housing Preservation Grant Program. The funds will be used to assist 15 low-income homeowners in making needed repairs to their homes in Pembina County.

“It’s important for us to invest in programs that allow North Dakotans to maintain their homes,” Hoeven said. “Today’s USDA funds will help 15 low-income homeowners make much-needed repairs to their residences, which will help to ensure that they are safe and warm in the coming winter months.”
