HOUSING AUTHORITY OFFERING REPAIR LOANS

The Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority has begun the Owner-Occupied Rehab Program to provide low- to moderate-income individuals with affordable loans for home improvements and repairs.

Through the program, the authority will assist individuals in making needed repairs to roofs, porches, windows, heating systems, ceilings or floors, and items that will enhance the livability and comfort of their home. Loans are offered at below market rates and free projected planning and supervision by construction specialists will also be provided.

To be eligible for the program, residential owner-occupied properties must be located within a Conservation or Rehab District designated by the city of Roanoke. In addition, the combined household income, adjusted for family size, may not exceed 80% of the median area income.

For application information, please contact Clarice Walker 983-9254, or Marnie Church 983-9243.
