In these tough economic times, it is getting harder to find financial help with home renovation projects. The city offers a program that might help!
The City of Bellingham's Home Rehabilitation Program (HRP) offers low interest loans to qualified low income households located within the city limits. These loans are made possible with yearly funding by HUD's Community Development Block Grant program.
Since 1977, the Home Rehabilitation Program has provided over 700 loans, helping over 900 households ensure their homes are safe and comfortable.
The Home rehabilitation Program helps by providing financial assistance, and program staff will also complete an assessment of the work needed, help select qualified contractors, and oversee completion of the project.
If you, or someone you know in your neighborhood, is in need of home repairs, we hope you will refer them to this great city program. Please also consider spreading the word about this program in your neighborhood association newsletter.
