PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC) invites interested residents from Becket, Clarksburg, New Ashford, Sheffield, and West Stockbridge to submit their name to the Berkshire County Housing Rehabilitation Waitlist beginning immediately. 

 

Interested residents can submit their information here. BRPC will submit multiple CDBG-funded Housing Rehabilitation Program applications on behalf of the previously listed towns to the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) on April 21, 2026.

 

The program's waitlist is open to all owner-occupied housing units with a household that meets the definition of low- to moderate-income as defined for Berkshire County by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). 

 

Number of people in household and Income limit

 

1: $67,000

2: $76,550

3: $86,100

4: $95,650

5: $103,350

6: $111,000

7: $118,650

8: $126,300

 

The type of rehabilitation work for each home will be identified through a housing inspection completed by

BRPC's Housing Inspector. Rehabilitation work typically includes items such as new roofing, windows, addressing failing septic systems, lead paint remediation, new siding, electrical work, and much more. 

 

All participating homeowners and their information are kept confidential from both the public and the applying towns. The waitlist doesn't guarantee a project but does position the homeowner as an early applicant for funding.

 

All interested residents may submit their information here. If residents cannot access the link, they may email the Housing Rehabilitation Program at HousingRehab@berkshireplanning.org for more information.

 

If you are a resident of a town outside of Becket, Clarksburg, New Ashford, Sheffield, and West Stockbridge, you may also fill out the form for a future funding cycle.
