Rehabilitation Loan Program

This is an income-based loan program for homeowners to make basic repairs to their home (roof, siding, windows, doors, heating systems, electrical updates, well, septic). Financing is in the form of a forgivable loan with a fifteen (15) year term at 0% interest. If during the 15 years the home is sold, the title is transferred or the property ceases to be the borrower’s principle place of residence, the loan must be paid back. If after 15 years none of those events occur, the loan is forgiven and does not have to be paid back. Single-family homes, duplexes and manufactured housing taxed as real or personal property are eligible for this program.
