Once a project is funded, local, licensed and insured contractors are selected to bid and perform the work, whether on a public facility, a home, rental property or commercial building. Rehabilitation activities (excluding public facilities) often include: repair/replacement of siding, windows, doors, heating systems, plumbing, electrical and roofing.
