Mercer County Residential Home Improvement Program

How it works

Mercer County’s Housing and Community Development Office administers a Residential Home Improvement Program, also described as a Residential Rehabilitation Program. The county says the program is funded through the HOME Investment Partnerships Program and is intended to help eligible homeowners make repairs to their residence.

What the money covers

The county’s description says the program covers “code violations and safety improvement assistance.” The page does not give a full itemized list of eligible repairs, a maximum award, whether the assistance is a grant or forgivable loan, or whether work is paid before or after completion.

Timing and deadlines

The county page is a live program page and indicates the office is accepting program-related materials on the housing/community development page, but it does not list a specific opening or closing date for the rehabilitation program on the page text captured here.

How it is administered

The page identifies the Mercer County Housing and Community Development Office as the administrator. It also says the HOME program has been in existence since 1992 and is meant to expand safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for low- and very low-income households.
