Who Does the Work?
The homeowner does not do the work. All work is performed by licensed, experienced contractors. EDA uses a competitive bid process for contractor selection to ensure the best work for a reasonable cost. Contractors are paid directly by EDA as work is completed.
Need More Repairs?
EDA offers additional services through the Home Rehabilitation Program, which can provide up to $20,000 for home repair services. This program is designed to cover several repair items or more costly repairs, such as, air conditioning repair, kitchen or bathroom repair, roof replacement, plumbing re-piping, electrical upgrade, or exterior painting. Repairs are prioritized by EDA based on health and safety concerns.
Because of the investment from this program the homeowner signs an agreement to maintain the property in good condition for ten years.
Is Your Mobile Home Beyond Repair?
Rehabilitation of a mobile home may not be feasible when structural or substandard conditions exist. If you qualify, EDA may replace the existing mobile home on your property using a combination of grant and loan funds.
How do I apply?
Prospective participants should download and complete the application. The terms and conditions of the rehabilitation program are, from time to time, subject to change.
