Housing Rehabilitation

The maximum loan amount for eligible repair items is up to $40,000.00 for Structural and System Repairs and up to $15,000.00 for Property Standard loans. Cases involving health and safety concerns will be prioritized on a case-by-case basis. Forgivable Loans may be available depending on income and need.

If your situation fits the key restrictions listed below, you may be eligible for assistance. Additional restrictions may apply, depending upon the loan funding source The City does not offer deferred loans; therefore all loans will require a payment plan.
