HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAMS

En Espanol

The City of Hollywood’s Department of Community Development administers a Housing Rehabilitation Program. Owners of single family houses, duplexes, condos and townhomes in need of repairs to bring the property up to code compliance with the South Florida Building codes are eligible. Multi-family properties with a maximum of four units can also apply for assistance if the property owner occupies one of the units.

When you obtain a Housing Rehabilitation loan from the City of Hollywood, you are placing a mortgage on your property, which is payable upon the sale, refinance, rental or when it is not longer owner occupied.

You qualify if you own and reside within the incorporated area of the City of Hollywood.

And your total household gross income does not exceed the following income guidelines:

Family Size	Family Income
1	$42,850
2	$48,950
3	$55,100
4	$61,200
5	$66,100
