What is an emergency repair?
An emergency repair is something unexpected like the sudden breakdown of an air-conditioner or a water heater. It can be something that has become progressively worse like a leaking pipe or roof. Program staff can respond to a call for emergency repair within a day or two and complete the repair the same day or within the next two days. A grant up to $10,000 is provided by the City to conduct the repairs.
What is substantial repair?
Substantial repair allows many items to be brought up to
standard at one time, such as the complete re-plumbing,
re-wiring and re-roofing of a home. The City will provide up to $50,000 for this purpose in the form of a no-interest,
forgivable loan. Forgivable loans do not require any payments by the home owner. The loan principle is reduced each year as long as the owner continues to occupy the home. It is sometimes necessary for the homeowner to temporarily move out of the home while the work is being conducted. The City will pay for temporary housing if this is necessary.
Various information is required at time of application.
