Federal money to repair housing in West-Central Mississippi will flow to three organizations in the state, including two in Vicksburg.

Mountain of Faith Ministries is receiving $27,028 to finance repairing and rehabilitating homes for four low-income homeowners, according to a press release this week from U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson’s office. The group runs Women’s Restoration Shelter and Faith House homeless shelters in Vicksburg.

Funding for the shelter was part of a $99,000 chunk of preservation funds Thompson announced in his district. The money will come from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development program.

Recipients of the homes will be determined at a later date, MOFM executive director Tina Hayward said.

“We just have a list of people right now and, since we’re a new agency to the grant program, we still have to go through training for Rural Development,” Hayward said.

A $45,000 allocation goes to Warren Washington Issaquena Sharkey Community Action Agency Inc. Thompson’s office said the agency would repair seven to 10 single-family homes in its four-county area. The organization assists low-income earners and the elderly in paying electricity bills and is active in making homes weatherproof.

Another $27,028 is going to South Central Community Action Agency Inc. The money will cover home repair and rehab for two low-income homeowners. The agency works in Claiborne, Madison, Rankin, Simpson and Walthall counties.
