The Town of Gouverneur is considering the submission of an application for funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The proposed application would be for owner-occupied rehabilitation of approximately 10 homes in the Town of Gouverneur. In order to demonstrate a need for the program funds to New York State, the Town is requesting eligible homeowners that are potentially interested in participating in the program to complete an Income and Housing Conditions Survey.

Individuals that complete the Income and Housing Conditions Survey will be added to the Town’s waiting list for housing programs. If the Town is successful in receiving CDBG funds, then those persons on the Town's waiting list will be asked to apply for funding through the CDBG program. Completing the Income and Housing Conditions Survey does not guarantee funding to an individual if the Town is successful in receiving CDBG funds. The application includes the homes in the Village of Gouverneur.

The Income and Housing Conditions Survey is currently available on the Town’s website, www.gouverneurny.com, or at the Town Offices located at 1227 US Highway 11, Gouverneur, NY 13642.

Eligible household income levels for the CDBG Program effective April 1, 2025 for the Town of Gouverneur are as follows: 1 Person ($49,950), 2 Persons ($57,050), 3 Person ($64,200), 4 Person ($71,300), 5 Person ($77,050), 6 Person ($82,750), 7 Person ($88,450), 8 Person ($94,150).

Questions about the program can be directed to Michelle Capone, Development Authority of the North Country, at 315-661-3200, or mcapone@danc.org. Surveys needed to be returned to the Town Office by Friday, July 25 at 4 p.m.
