Welcome back to quickcalms! Home repair costs are often crippling for low-income families and seniors. This video is your comprehensive guide to understanding and accessing the two primary federal programs designed to keep your home safe, functional, and hazard-free:

Part 1: The USDA Section 504 Home Repair Program (Rural Focus)
The USDA Rural Development's Single Family Housing Repair Loans and Grants Program (Section 504) is the most direct source of federal funding for home repairs.

Who Qualifies? Very-low-income homeowners who live in eligible rural areas (generally, communities with a population under 35,000).

Funding Breakdown:

Loans: Up to $40,000 at a fixed 1% interest rate over 20 years for general repairs and modernization.

Grants: Up to $10,000 for homeowners age 62 or older who cannot repay a loan. Grants must be used only to remove health and safety hazards (e.g., roof, structural, electrical fixes, accessibility modifications).

How to Apply: Applications are accepted year-round. Start the process by visiting the link below to find your local USDA office.

Part 2: HUD-Funded Local Programs (CDBG & HOME)
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funds to local governments (cities/counties) through various grants, which are then used to create local repair programs.

Programs Covered: We discuss how the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds are used to offer:

Zero-interest or deferred-payment loans.

Emergency repair grants for items like lead paint abatement or disabled accessibility (DFG).

Key Difference: Eligibility and application are handled by your city or county housing department. Use our link below to find your local contact information!
