Neighborhood Housing Rehabilitation Program

How it works

The Neighborhood Housing Rehabilitation Program (NHRP) is a county-run housing repair program funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It is designed to provide financial assistance to owner-occupied residents of Prince William County and the Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.

What the money covers

The program’s purpose is to preserve and improve owner-occupied properties and bring them up to applicable building codes and standards. The official page says assistance may be used to:

• correct exterior and interior deficiencies
• make accessibility modifications
• correct health and safety violations
• improve weatherization and energy conservation
• correct lead-based paint violations
• complete general improvements, including alterations, kitchen and bathroom work, carpeting, fencing, and landscaping

Amounts and matching

The page does not state a maximum award amount, minimum award amount, matching requirement, or whether the assistance is structured as a grant, loan, or other form of aid. It only describes the program as offering financial assistance.

How to apply

Homeowners can apply in one of three ways:

1. Online application through Neighborly Software.
2. Download and deliver the application, then submit the completed packet and required documents to the Office of Housing and Community Development.
3. Traditional mail by calling to request a paper application.

The page also lists contacts for questions: Jerica Johnston and Amira Gonzalez, Community Development Analysts, at the Office of Housing and Community Development in Woodbridge.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not give a current deadline, closing date, or funding window. It says households with incomes at or below 50% of area median income receive priority for assistance.
