Additional Benefits for Seniors & Residents with Disabilities
Special assistance programs for seniors and/or persons with disabilities are available to eligible homeowners who make an application through Rebuilding Together Aurora and through programs and services implemented through the City's Senior and Disability Services Division.

Neighborhood Improvements
Funds were used to purchase and/or install playground equipment in low to moderate-income neighborhoods.

Public Service Agency Support
Support for public service agencies is provided in two ways: financial assistance for program delivery or financial assistance for capital improvements. Each year approximately $200,000 is available for various public service programs from tutorial programs to emergency assistance for seniors.

Sometimes agencies outgrow their facilities or need to repair their facilities in order to maintain quality service delivery. CDBG funds have supported these activities. For some, CDBG dollars determined whether or not they could keep their doors open.
