HOME PROGRAM <br /> <br />The N.C. Housing Finance Agency is accepting applications through July 22, 1994 for <br />Single Family Residential Repair projects. The maximum available is $400,000 per <br />application from the $4,000,000 statewide pot. <br /> <br />Home repairs can average no more than $25,000 per home, including lead based paint <br />remediation. The project staff envisions is aimed at elderly and/or handicapped home <br />owners who are low income. Proposed repairs include roof replacement, rewiring and <br />plumbing, installation of bathrooms (we have homes that have no bathroom), floor <br />repairs, installation of water heaters, insulation, window and door replacement, and vinyl <br />siding. <br /> <br />There is no local match but the State is aware of jurisdictiOns that can afford to put <br />money into their projects to make them go further. We suggest a local match of $15,000 <br />to be added to the proposed $200,000 project. <br /> <br />We were able to rehabilitate 20 homes with the last HOME project the County was <br />involved in. At this time we are receiving calls on a weekly basis from elderly low <br />income home owners who have some pretty bad problems with their homes. In many <br />cases their abi!i~ to remain in the homes is in jeopardy because of the condition of the <br />home. <br /> <br /> <br />
