City of Goldsboro Urgent Repair Program (URP)

How it works

The City of Goldsboro’s Urgent Repair Program (URP) was administered by the City of Goldsboro Community Relations Department and funded through the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency. The program was designed to help homeowners address housing conditions that posed an imminent threat to life or safety, and to make accessibility modifications that could help prevent displacement.

Assistance was structured as an unsecured, deferred, interest-free loan. The loan was forgivable at a rate of $2,000 per year until the balance reached zero.

What the money covers

Funds were limited to urgent repairs and accessibility modifications. The city stated that the program was meant to address conditions posing imminent threats to the life or safety of occupants, and that not all deficiencies in a home could necessarily be repaired with the available funds.

Amounts and matching

The maximum loan amount was $10,000. The source does not list a minimum loan amount, a matching requirement, or any tiered award formula beyond the maximum and the forgiveness schedule.
