Minersville Borough & Wayne Township Housing Rehabilitation Programs

How it works

Schuylkill Community Action says the Minersville Borough and Wayne Township Housing Rehabilitation Programs help lower-income homeowners make safe and healthy repairs to their homes. Assistance is provided as a zero-percent forgivable loan with no monthly payments, and the loan is forgiven over 5 years if ownership is maintained. The page also says the loan is secured by a secondary lien.

What the money covers

The page says the programs address:

• Health and safety issues
• Code violations
• Lead-based paint hazards
• Energy efficiency improvements
• Accessibility modifications
• Radon gas

Examples of repairs listed on the page include:

• Roof repair or replacement
• Heating systems
• Electrical repairs or upgrades
• Window and door replacement
• Porch repairs
• Plumbing issues
• Tub-to-shower conversions

How to apply

The page does not spell out the full application procedure, but it identifies the program as a housing rehabilitation offering through Schuylkill Community Action.

Timing and deadlines

No current application deadline or funding end date is stated on the page.

Why this matters for homeowners

Although the program is not labeled as wildfire or flood mitigation, many covered repairs are relevant to disaster resilience and home hardening, especially roof, window, door, porch, and building-safety work.
