Housing Rehabilitation

The Housing Division provides financial assistance to local homeowners to ensure that their homes are “safe, clean and livable”. The division administers a housing rehabilitation grant / loan program to help homeowners address health and safety concerns with their manufactured, townhomes, and site built homes. The programs available include an emergency repair program and a complete housing rehabilitation program.

The purpose and goals of the programs include:
  1. The elimination of health and safety hazards in homes;
  2. To benefit low to moderate income residents; and
  3. To improve neighborhoods and encourage stability.
Detailed information regarding the City's program can be found in the Housing Rehabilitation Program Guidelines which will include information about the program process, financing, homeowner requirements, contractor requirements, eligibility requirements, the grievance procedure and so much more. Guidelines are regularly reviewed and adopted by the City Council.
