The program offers a deferred (interest-free) loan for a down payment, closing costs and rehabilitation assistance to eligible low-to-moderate income households. This loan is 85% forgiven over a period of time between 5-15 years with a 15% recapture. This program requires HUD Certified Homeownership classes. *This program does not replace a conventional mortgage loan. Home Repair Program This grant program is designed to assist eligible low-to-moderate income (see income guideline below) homeowners to make emergency or non-emergency repairs that are considered Health and Safety concern according to the program’s rules and regulation. The grant covers single projects such as septic repairs, leaking roofs, heating systems, etc. This grant is available as long as funding allows. Private Owner Rehabilitation Program This program helps homeowners with rehabilitating single family homes. A single rehabilitation may entail several projects, such as plumbing upgrades, roof repairs, removal of lead-based paint, siding, electrical upgrades, and other repairs needed to eliminate health and safety concerns according to program rules and regulations. Homeowners who qualify (see income guideline below) will receive a five year deferred interest free loan to make repairs. 17% of the loan is forgiven each year for five years, the remaining 15% is only due once the owner sells or no longer resides in the home.
