BLOOMINGTON – Low and moderate income homeowners in Bloomington may be eligible for help in funding some home repairs.
The City of Bloomington will be accepting applications for its Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program and Fiscal 2018 Partner Projects beginning July 1st.
Applications for the Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
The city will utilize Community Development Block Grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to assist approximately 25 low and moderate income households with minor to moderate home repairs. Assistance is provided in the form of a zero percent interest deferred loan, payable at the time that the homeowner is no longer the owner/occupant of the property. Approved applicants can expect to receive assistance before May 1, 2017.
The City will also begin accepting applications for its Partner Program on July 1. The Partner Program provides funding for community partners engaging in public service, housing, public facility and infrastructure projects. Accepted projects will be funded for the fiscal year beginning May 1, 2017.
Applications for both programs are available on the city’s website, www.cityblm.org, and at the Community Development department, Government Center, 115 E. Washington St., Bloomington. Applications will be accepted through August 31.
