Description

Provides financial assistance to homeowners with emergency home repairs including code violations and major system repairs. Awards will be made based on the actual repair needs of the home which may include any issues related to health and safety, as well as general system upgrades needed to comply with local codes, including replacement of systems that would extend the useful life of the property. A program administrator will come out to the home to help create a scope of work once an application is filled out and basic eligibility is determined. The maximum award amount under this program is $35,000; however, exceptions will be made when the repair is fundamental to health and safety of the dwelling, and the final award will be based on the approved scope of work. Homeowners who receive an award under this program will sign a 10-year regulatory agreement. The award will be forgiven on a declining balance amortization schedule, such that the full award will be fully forgiven if the homeowner remains in the home with a sale or refinance for the full 10 years.
