CRUMBLING FOUNDATIONS

Overview

Since 2017 CRCOG has been working closely with its member municipalities, and state and federal government to assist homeowners with crumbling concrete foundations. Together we are making significant progress to remediate homes across our region. Please review the programs listed on this page for more information about this topic.

Crumbling Foundation Testing Reimbursement Program

Homeowners who are suffering from crumbling foundations or suspect they may have pyrrhotite in their foundations can get reimbursed for core testing or visual inspections of their foundations. Governor Malloy initiated this program using bond funding and is a grant program through the Department of Housing with the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) as the administrator.
