News Brief: New home repair program launched

Posted on February 7, 2008 by Staff

Homeowners who live in the Northside and Pine Knolls neighborhoods can receive no-interest, forgivable loans to repair their houses through the Town of Chapel Hill’s Comprehensive Housing Rehabilitation Program. EmPOWERment, Inc. will host an information session on the program on Wednesday, February 13th from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at the Pine Knolls Community Center, 107 Johnson St. Continental breakfast will be provided. Jamie Rohe, community development planner with the town, will give a presentation and answer questions about the program.

The program covers repairs for owner-occupied homes of low- and moderate-income residents in the two neighborhoods. Homeowners receive no-interest, forgivable loans to cover the cost of the repairs.  The town hires a contractor to perform the repairs. If the homeowners continue to live in their homes after the work is done, they will not need to repay the loans.
