Homeowners who qualify for a rehabilitation grant <br />ounty <br />have their structure inspected by a member building inspection department to determine if the structure <br />meets the state and county building codes and rehabilitation <br />standards. <br />3.

If the home does not meet the Minimum <br />Housing Code and Rehabilitation Standards, processing of <br />the owner's application will continue.
