Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program

How it works

Osceola County’s Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program is meant to help eligible homeowners make necessary repairs that improve occupant safety and well-being or preserve the structural integrity of the home. The main program page says the related Minor Repairs Program for Homeowners is suspended until further notice.

What the money covers

The official page does not give a detailed list of covered improvements on the main page. It only states the repairs must improve safety and well-being or contribute to structural integrity and preservation of the owner-occupied home.

How to apply

Applicants must complete a telephone intake interview by calling the Human Services Division at (407) 742-8400. The page also says owners must obtain an education class certificate and that a three-hour financial education class is required to receive assistance.

Timing and process notes

The program is for owner-occupied homes only. The county also says it typically uses local contractors selected by the program, but if those contractors have limited availability or have reached their maximum number of active projects, eligible applicants may submit up to three contractors of their choice for vetting.
