Every homeowner eventually faces maintenance and repair costs — and for many, these costs arise unpredictably and become unmanageable. The City of Marion and the Grant County Commissioners are reaching out to community members and organizations because you see these challenges up close, whether through your work, your neighbors, or your own community involvement. Your input matters: it helps us understand where the need is greatest and how to build a stronger case for support. This survey is part of a grant application for the Office of Community and Rural Affairs' Owner Occupied Rehabilitation program, which would provide financial support to homeowners facing critical home repairs in Marion ($350,000) and Grant County ($500,000). By sharing your perspective, you help shape a program that could make a real difference for homeowners in our community.
