HOME Enhancement Loan Program (H.E.L.P.)

The application is now closed.

The HOME Enhancement Loan Program (HELP) can provide loans to low-income single-family owner-occupied households for necessary repairs and rehabilitation to bring their house up to code, eliminate critical health and safety concerns, and increase efficiency and accessibility thereby enhancing livability and preservation of the home. Loans up $100,000 at 3% simple interest with a 20-year term and deferred payments. This program is federally-funded through the HOME Investment Partnership ACT (HOME).
