Whole-Home Repairs Program: Support for Homeowners and Landlords

A new pilot program aims to assist homeowners and landlords with essential home repairs. This includes improvements for accessibility, safety, energy efficiency, and overall housing conditions. The goal is to ensure safe and affordable living spaces for citizens.
Key points
Low-income homeowners can receive grants for repairs, such as bathroom modifications, grab bar installations, or ramp repairs.
Landlords owning fewer than 10 rental properties may receive loans (potentially forgivable) for repairs, provided they maintain affordable rents and meet accessibility requirements.
The program seeks to coordinate with existing home repair initiatives to enhance efficiency and avoid duplication.
Landlords receiving loans must agree to extend current tenant leases for at least 3 years and cap annual rent increases at 5% or inflation, whichever is lower.
