City of Beaumont Owner Occupied Minor Rehabilitation Program

How it works

The City of Beaumont’s Community Development/Housing Department says it provides assistance through grants to support revitalization in the city and its jurisdiction. The Owner Occupied Minor Rehabilitation Program is one of those programs, and the page says it is meant to help create safe housing for economically disadvantaged residents.

What the money covers

The page describes the program as a Housing Rehabilitation/Minor Repair Program. It does not list specific repair items on the page, but it is clearly for repairs or rehabilitation of an owner-occupied home.

Amounts and matching

• Assistance is available up to $24,999 per home.
• The page does not state any required homeowner match.
• A lien is placed on the property for 5 years to help ensure the owner continues living in the home and does not sell it right away.
• If the homeowner sells within those 5 years, they must repay the grant funds to the City.
• After 5 years, the City prepares and files a release of lien at the Jefferson County courthouse.

How to apply

The page says the program is currently not taking applications due to the length of the waitlist.

Timing and deadlines

• The city says its federal grant funding is available for a limited period annually.
• The page does not give a reopen date or application deadline for this repair program.

Additional notes

The page says the program is intended primarily for people who are elderly and/or disabled and who qualify as low to moderate income.
