Homeownership is an integral part of the American Dream and is a primary step to which most Americans accumulate wealth. The cumulative effect of small maintenance and repair projects can pay back big dividends.
The Housing Rehabilitation and Homeownership Programs comply with the lead-based paint regulation (24 CFR §570.608; 24 CFR 35) issued from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lead-based paint regulation will affect any home built prior to January 1, 1978.
Emergency Repairs Grants and /or loans are available to assist properties owned and occupied by very low -low income (see The Income Chart ) persons who are 60 years of age or older and/or on Social Security Disability; and low-moderate income households owned and occupied by active-duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces within Provo City limits.
Repairs must be a health or safety emergency.
Grants do not exceed $5000.
If a loan is granted at a later date for additional repairs, the grant amount will be added to the loan balance.
