RALEIGH—Vulnerable, low-income households in need of rehabilitation and accessibility modifications in 32 North Carolina counties will receive help thanks to $11 million from the NC Housing Finance Agency’s Essential Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Pool (ESFRLP).

The ESFRLP finances major home rehabilitation and modifications for households with incomes below 80% of their area’s median income. This investment will help veterans, seniors and people with disabilities stay in their homes and out of costly institutions, saving on health care and long-term care costs. Homes with lead hazards occupied by a child six years of age or younger may also qualify.

The NC Housing Finance Agency provides this assistance through local governments, regional organizations, community action agencies and nonprofit agencies. Thirty-nine organizations and local governments will receive funding in the amount of $162,000 set-asides per county served and will manage the rehabilitation process. This $6.32 million will provide comprehensive rehabilitation to at least 117 homes through forgivable loans. An incentive pool of $4.68 million will assist an additional 87 homes.
