STRONG Homes Loan Program - One highlight of the 2015 City Budget was the creation of the STRONG Homes Loan Program. This new program will assist current homeowners to make essential home repairs and abate code violations at their properties. Eligible items include replacing a roof, replacing a failing porch, repairing or replacing deteriorating siding or failing exterior paint, and correcting hazardous conditions or building code violations.
If a homeowner remains in their home for ten years after the completion of the work, 25% of the STRONG Homes loan will be forgiven.
