Salt Lake County Housing Rehabilitation Program

How it works

Salt Lake County administers grant funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to qualifying homeowners, renters, and landlords throughout Salt Lake County. The county says all services are free. The program is designed to make homes lead safe for children and to address essential repairs and improvements that improve health and safety in eligible residential properties.

What the money covers

The page says the program provides assistance for essential repairs and improvements that address health and safety concerns, lead-based paint hazards, and other critical housing needs. Specific services listed include:

• Visual inspections of residential properties
• Risk assessments and hazard identification
• Contractor selection and project management
• Blood lead testing for children under age 6
• Lead-hazard remediation in homes built before 1978

The page also says that repairs completed through the program depend on program eligibility, property conditions, available funding, and the types of repairs approved by the program.

Timing and deadlines

No application deadline, start date, or closing date is stated on the page. The page says residents and property owners are encouraged to review the program requirements and complete an application to determine eligibility.

How to apply

Applications can be submitted by mail, fax, or email, or by calling/texting to schedule an appointment to deliver the application. The page also references a pre-application for the Housing Rehabilitation Programs.
