City of Rocky Mount Housing Rehab Program

How it works

The City of Rocky Mount Community Development Division administers the Housing Rehab Program. The city says it helps low- to moderate-income homeowners with home repairs to promote neighborhood stability and preserve the existing supply of single-family homes.

What the money covers

The page says the program is for rehabilitation improvements and specifically mentions structural repairs. It also says the maximum can be increased if an eligible housing unit has:

• Lead-based paint hazards, and/or
• No indoor plumbing

In those cases, the maximum allowable rehab limit can be increased by:

• The amount of the lowest responsible bid for lead paint abatement, and/or
• The cost of providing indoor plumbing

Amounts and matching

• The program offers a deferred loan
• Maximum loan: the lowest responsible bid based on the work write-up prepared by the Department of Housing and Community Development or $50,000 per unit, whichever is less, for structural repairs
• The page does not mention a match requirement

How to apply

Applicants are directed to the Housing Rehab Program Brochure and Housing Rehabilitation Policy for application details.

Timing and deadlines

• The main page does not list an application deadline or dates.
