The grants are for very low-income senior, disabled or Veteran homeowners.

Jasmine Mosley was among the dozens who showed up at La Retama Library on the launch day for applications.

Mosley said she was there to make an application for her grandmother, whose home needs major roof repairs.

"I was (like) "Grandma, get in this program, it will benefit you, like, even if we don't get chose at least we, well at least we did it," she told KRIS 6 News.
