Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program

How it works

The Town of Tolland’s Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program provides financing to help homeowners make repairs to their homes. The brochure says the program is intended for housing rehabilitation work, with a home inspection used to determine the scope of work in accordance with program guidelines and the owner’s wishes.

What the money covers

The brochure is broad rather than wildfire-specific. It does not list a dedicated hardening menu, but it is a home-repair financing program for owner-occupied housing rehabilitation. Because the official brochure does not narrow the eligible work to a single hazard, the program can only be described generally from the source as financing for home rehabilitation.

Amounts and matching

The brochure says the maximum loan amount is $30,000. It also says loans are at 0% interest for up to 10 years. For accessibility improvements, the brochure says some applicants may qualify for a 50% deferred, no-interest loan, but it does not provide more detail in the source excerpt about a separate cap.

How to apply

The brochure directs homeowners to contact the Town of Tolland Human Services Department for an application or more information. It lists the office contact as Beverly Bellody, with phone, fax, and email contact information in the brochure.

Timing and deadlines

No closing date, deadline, or funding status is stated in the brochure excerpt provided. The program is listed on the Town’s website as a current brochure, so it appears to be an existing local program, but the source does not clearly state whether applications are open continuously or on a cycle.
