Senior Home Repair Loan Program

The Senior Home Repair Loan Program is a deferred 0% interest loan program designed to provide assistance to eligible homeowners who need more extensive repairs to their homes than the Senior Minor Home Repair Grant Program provides. The Senior Home Repair Loan Program addresses home repairs that focus on health, safety, and security conditions of the home.
