Program details
How it works
The City of Savannah’s Home Repair Assistance Program provides small grants and loans to eligible homeowners who own and occupy their homes. The city says some funds may be used to buy materials installed by volunteers, and some may be used by homeowners to hire contractors of their choice for approved work.
What the money covers
The program is aimed at modest repairs, not full renovations. The city says repairs typically focus on one or two exterior or system repairs. Examples listed on the official page include:
- Roof replacement
- Exterior surface repair or painting
- Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC repairs
- Correcting code violations
Amounts and terms
- Grant assistance: up to $2,000 annually
- Loan assistance: not to exceed $15,000 over a three-year period
- Loan interest: 2%
- Loan repayment: deferred; no payments are due while you own and occupy the home
How to apply
The page directs homeowners to contact the Housing Services Department by phone or email. It also says the application is available through the program’s application link.
Timing and deadlines
Applications are ongoing year-round, but only while funds remain available.
Important limits
The property must be in the Savannah city limits, and the house must be habitable after the repairs are complete.
