HomeCare Program

How it works

The Portsmouth HOME program includes a HomeCare Program for homeowners whose homes need substantial rehabilitation work. The city says it assists moderate- to low-income citizens who are at least 55 years old and/or disabled. Eligible homeowners can receive financial assistance of up to $25,000 for rehabilitation work.

What the money covers

The page uses the broad term “rehabilitation work” and does not list specific repairs in the text provided. It does not say whether the funds can be used for disaster-hardening measures such as wildfire, wind, hail, or flood mitigation.

Amounts and matching

• Maximum assistance stated on the page: up to $25,000 per homeowner.
• The page does not say whether the assistance is a grant, loan, deferred loan, forgivable loan, or cost-share.
• No match requirement is stated.

How to apply

• The page text provided is a document landing page and does not include application steps, forms, or contact instructions.
• It also does not state whether applications are accepted continuously or on a cycle.

Timing and deadlines

• No opening date, closing date, deadline, or funding availability status is provided in the page text.

Important note

This is a general home rehabilitation assistance program, not a disaster-specific hardening incentive. It is included because it is a current Portsmouth homeowner assistance program that can fund work on the home.
