Housing Activities
The Housing Program benefits Low– and Moderate-Income (LMI) households needing to make home
improvements or wishing to purchase a home. Northwest Regional Planning Commission administers
the Regional Ten-County Housing Program.
OWNER-OCCUPIED REHABILITATION
The program will provide rehabilitation assistance to LMI owner-
occupied housing units. Financial assistance to eligible owner-occupied
households will be in the form of a zero percent interest, deferred
payment loan, secured by a mortgage until the unit ceases to be the
borrower’s principal place of residence. The property must be titled in
the owner’s name, taxes must be current, and the property must be
insured against direct loss or damage. Homes under life estates and land
contracts are eligible.
RENTER-OCCUPIED REHABILITATION
The program may provide funds for the rehabilitation of LMI renter-occupied units with zero to three
percent interest, installment loans over ten years.
HOMEBUYER ASSISTANCE
The program will provide assistance to eligible households that are renting and
seeking assistance to purchase a home. The Homebuyer Opportunity Program will
provide closing costs and up to 50 percent of the down payment to eligible clients.
Eligible closing costs include loan origination fees, loan discount points, appraisal
costs, credit report, title search and preparation charges, transfer fees, and
recording costs. Terms for financing are the same as owner-occupied
rehabilitation.
HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBILITY
Funds may be used for accessibility modifications to a dwelling unit occupied by an
LMI person who is physically handicapped. Typical modifications include ramps,
grab bars, accessible shower stalls, wider doorways and hallways, and the installation of door handles, in place of doorknobs.
