Rowan County Housing Assistance Program

How it works

Rowan County’s Planning and Development Department oversees the county’s housing assistance programs and uses the Salisbury Community Development Corporation to manage them. The county says it partners with local and state agencies to provide housing programs for low- to moderate-income homeowners intended to increase energy efficiency, safety, and sustainability.

What the money covers

The page says assistance activities may include:

• housing rehabilitation
• emergency repairs
• down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers

For homeowners looking at disaster hardening or resilience work, the relevant items are the rehabilitation and emergency repair services. The county does not publish a dollar amount, matching requirement, or reimbursement formula on this page.
