Community Housing Impact and Preservation Program (CHIP) – Private Owner Rehabilitation

How it works

The county says the Private Owner Rehabilitation activity is designed to improve and protect the supply of sound, serviceable low-income owner-occupied housing stock. Financial assistance is provided to homeowners to correct substandard conditions so the homes are safe, healthy, durable, energy efficient, and affordable.

What the money covers

The county says this activity is intended to address problems throughout the house. In most circumstances, that means the home’s mechanical systems, including electrical, plumbing, and heating systems, will be repaired or replaced to meet required standards.

Amounts and matching

• The CHIP landing page does not state a dollar cap for Private Owner Rehabilitation.
• The county page does not state matching requirements.
• The county page does not state whether the aid is upfront or reimbursed.

How to apply

The landing page points readers to CHIP materials and county contacts, but it does not provide a complete application walkthrough on the page itself.

Timing and deadlines

The page shows that the county publishes annual CHIP notices and grant schedules, but the landing page does not itself state the current application window.
