Grants are available to Napa County residents whose ability to obtain, maintain, or restore housing was impacted by the 2017 wildfires.
The Golden State Finance Authority, in partnership with Rural County Representatives of California, has generously funded this grant opportunity. Napa County will administer and disburse grant funds.
