Homeowner Resources

The Housing Rehabilitation Assistance Programs provide financial assistance for the rehabilitation of single-family homes to persons of limited financial means for the purpose of upgrading the quality of deteriorated dwellings to contemporary minimum property standards, including the elimination of all housing code violations.  The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) finances two home rehabilitation assistance programs.  Each one is administered and managed by one of DHCD's partner non-profit organizations.  Click on the title of each one to learn more about the program:
