RALEIGH—Vulnerable, low-income households in need of rehabilitation and accessibility modifications in 30 counties will receive help thanks to $8 million from the NC Housing Finance Agency’s Essential Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Pool (ESFRLP). These repairs help veterans, seniors and people with disabilities stay in their homes, saving on health care and long-term care costs. Communities also benefit according to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, which reported that home rehabilitation investments preserve existing homes and improves the property values of the surrounding neighborhood.

The ESFRLP finances major home rehabilitation and modifications for households with members who are elderly, have disabilities or are veterans, and whose incomes are below 80 percent of their area’s median. Homes with lead hazards occupied by a child 6 years of age or younger may also qualify. The NC Housing Finance Agency finances this assistance through local governments and nonprofit agencies.
