Senator Heidi Heitkamp announced two federal grants totaling $140,000 to help rural communities modernize, repair, and improve safety and quality to make housing more affordable for rural North Dakotans. “For too many rural families, particularly those with lower incomes, home repairs and updates are often out of reach,” said Heitkamp. “When badly needed maintenance goes unaddressed families can end up facing more costly repairs down the road, or risk living in unsafe conditions.
