Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program

Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program Brochure Download the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program Brochure

The Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program enables eligible low-and-moderate income homeowners to make repairs and basic home improvements that maintain the quality of their housing and create a positive effect in the surrounding neighborhood. Loans are offered at below-market interest rates Loan amounts are based on the approved repair needs of the property for terms up to 15 years. Interest rate and term of the loan depend on yearly (gross) income. Loans are available for one to four-family owner occupied homes. A title search, credit check and appraisal are required, and will be provided by the Program.  Senior citizens 65 or older who meet eligibility and income criteria may be eligible for our Senior Deferred Loan program.  The loan is deferred until the title transfers.
