Eligible participants must have owned and occupied their
home for at least one year, be current on all city and county taxes, water
bills and user fees, as well as have a well maintained and structurally sound
home.
Eligibility requirements based on income relative to the
size of the household must be fulfilled as well.

Assistance loans are interest free and the amount repaid will be based on the size of the
household. By Lindsay Frazier
