Program Details
The Home Improvement Roof Grant Program provides grants to eligible homeowners to rehabilitate or replace their aging and deteriorated home roofs. The goal of the program is to improve the quality of life for very low-income homeowners, specifically those on a fixed income such as older adults, by helping homeowners acquire safe and code compliant roofs.
To be eligible for a grant, you must meet all of the following requirements:
- Own and occupy a single-family home as your primary residence.
- Meet program income requirements.
- Live in an area of Long Beach designated by the federal government as a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) area. Verify your eligibility using the CDBG Interactive Map.
Please note: Home Improvement Roof Grants cannot be applied retroactively, as they are not intended for reimbursement. Construction should not begin until you receive a Notice to Proceed from the Program Coordinator.
Roofing Contractor Information
If you are a roofing contractor (CSLB C39 license) and are interested in performing roof replacement/rehabilitation projects for homeowners as part of the grant program, please contact the Program Coordinator for more information at CD-RoofGrant@longbeach.gov.
