MDHA Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program

How it works

The Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency (MDHA) is accepting pre-screening forms for its Homeowner Rehabilitation Loan Program. The program is intended to correct health and safety issues in Davidson County owner-occupied homes and preserve existing affordable housing stock by helping repair major housing systems.

What the money covers

The page says assistance may be used to repair major housing systems, including:

• Roofing
• Electrical systems
• Plumbing
• Accessibility improvements
• Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems

How assistance is awarded

Funding is not described as a fixed grant amount on this page. Instead, MDHA says assistance will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis after the household submits a completed pre-screening form and application and MDHA determines eligibility and priority status.

Timing and deadlines

The page says assistance continues until funding is exhausted. No specific application deadline is given.

How to apply

Pre-screening forms are available on MDHA’s website and at MDHA’s Community Development Department, 712 South Sixth Street in Nashville, between 7:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays. To receive a pre-screening form by mail, or to request accommodation or language assistance, applicants can call 615-252-8530. The page also lists TDD 615-252-8599.

Priority factors

MDHA gives priority to homes occupied by eligible residents age 62 or older, people with disabilities, homeowners who have never received assistance through the program before, and very low-income homeowners.
