Single-family homes – No-interest loans of up to $25,000 are available to income-eligible owners of single-family homes to help pay for needed repairs such as correcting building code violations, replacing deteriorated exterior stairs, repairing a leaking roof, upgrading mechanical systems and making accessibility alterations. To qualify, homes must be owner-occupied and household income must be at or below 80 percent of the area median income — for example $58,250 for a two-person household. No monthly payments are required and loans do not have to be repaid for 20 years or until the property is transferred. The program also offers grants to help pay for correcting peeling or damaged lead paint surfaces separate from rehab issues.
