There is a LOT of bogus information regarding the stimulus funding, so I would not put any weight into what a "friend of a friend" said regarding stimulus funds.
Call the local government office. In Brooklyn, it may mean calling the borough office of Neighborhood Development. This is not the exact place that you want but they should be able to direct you to "homeowner improvements" or something of the like.

In general, they are probably on their own, there are no "stimulus funding" grant for fixing your house but there may be some loans available.
