Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program

How it works

Volusia County’s Community Assistance Division runs the Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program for homeowners who need major repairs. The program provides funds of up to $100,000 as a zero-interest, 30-year deferred/forgivable or repayment loan.

What the money covers

The page says the program helps income-eligible homeowners who have:

• Life-threatening health or safety defects and/or deficiencies
• Homes in need of improvements to become safe, healthy, affordable, energy-efficient, and habitable

The county does not publish a narrower repair menu on the overview page, so the stated scope is broad rehabilitation rather than a limited set of line-item repairs.

Amounts and terms

• Maximum assistance: $100,000
• Loan terms: zero-interest, 30-year deferred/forgivable or repayment loan
• The page does not state a matching requirement

How to apply

Applications are currently being accepted. The county says a phone interview must be completed to preliminarily determine eligibility, and residents should call 386-736-5955 or email communityassistance@volusia.org to schedule a pre-screen appointment.

Timing and deadlines

The page states that the program is open and accepting applications. No closing date is listed.

Additional notes

The page also notes that applicants can contact Community Assistance for screening and program questions.
