Step 2.Confirm Eligibility & Program Details

• You must own your home (single family residence, townhomes, and condominiums only) and be residing in this home to be eligible. Only households with income less than or equal to 80% of the area median income adjusted for family size are eligible.

• The below pages outline eligible maximum incomes based on household size as well as all other program details and requirements.  NOTE: You must qualify for these requirements or your application will be denied. 

• Single Family Rehabilitation Program
• Single Family Home Replacement Program
• Single Family Emergency Rehabilitation Program

NOTE: The below application applies to all three programs. The Housing & Community Development Department will decide which response (rehab, replacement, or emergency) you are applicable for. 

Step 3.Is this an Emergency?

If you feel your housing condition is hazardous to you/your family, you should note 'emergency' on the application below.  We will send an inspector to determine if the rehab qualifies as an emergency. 

Step 4.Apply for Program

Step 5.Await Response
