Eligibility Apply Forms Consolidated Plans Guides Webinars Contacts State program rules subdivide grant funds into three general categories: Funds are granted to local units of government, which, in turn, lend funds for the purpose of rehabilitating local housing stock. Loans may be used for owner-occupied, rental, single-family or multiple-family housing rehabilitation.
Loan agreements may allow for deferred payments or immediate monthly payments. Interest rates may vary, and loan repayments are retained by grantees for the purpose of making additional rehabilitation loans. In all cases, housing funds must benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
Funds are granted for wastewater treatment projects, including collection systems and treatment plants; wells, water towers and distribution systems. Comprehensive projects frequently include housing and public facility activities described above.
In addition, comprehensive projects may include an economic development activity, which consists of loans from the grant recipient to businesses for building, rehabilitation related to facade improvements, code violations, and health and safety issues. The most common economic development activity is rehabilitation of local commercial districts. The maximum grant award for a Single Purpose project is $600,000.
The maximum grant award for a Comprehensive project is $1. 4 million. The amount of other funds required varies and is contingent upon the project type.
However, the amount of leveraged resources plays a significant role in determining whether the project is funded. The timeline to complete projects is normally 30 months, depending on project size and scope.
