Orange County Housing Rehabilitation Program

How it works

The Housing Rehabilitation Program helps eligible homeowners address life, safety, health, and code-related issues through essential home repairs. The county says assistance is provided as a 0% interest deferred second mortgage that can extend up to 10 years, with the term based on the amount of assistance.

What the money covers

The page lists the following eligible repair categories under How We Can Help:

• Accessibility improvements
• Roofing
• Septic
• HVAC
• Electrical
• Plumbing

The page also notes that window replacement may be covered when the home’s needs are being reviewed. A question about pressure washing was answered with “not a covered service,” while interior and exterior painting may be included in certain cases if the work is necessary as part of an eligible repair or rehabilitation activity rather than purely cosmetic.

Amounts and matching

No fixed dollar cap is stated on the page. The page says the amount of assistance is subject to qualified repairs.
