(KLZA)-- Falls City, Tecumseh, Sterling and Cook are among  nine communities in Nebraska that will receive a portion of more than $4-million for Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation projects. 

The Nebraska Department of Economic Development selected the recipients. 

All of the communities receiving the funds matched the core objective of benefitting low-to-moderate income persons, preventing or eliminating slum and blight conditions, or solving catastrophic health and safety threats.

Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation enables communities to make substantial repairs and improvements to homes on behalf of low and moderate income households. The repairs can range from new siding or roofing to electrical updates, energy efficient windows and everything in-between.

Falls City will receive$547-thousand;  Tecumseh, Cook and Sterling will each receive $315-thousand.
