Your application paperwork

The Fix Up loan is a fixed-rate home improvement loan from Minnesota Housing for owner-occupants. You do not apply to the state directly; you work with an approved participating lender, who handles everything from pre-qualification to closing. Secured loans run from 2,000 dollars to 75,000 dollars with terms up to 20 years and can pay for repairs, energy improvements, and accessibility work; income limits apply to most loans but are waived for accessibility.

Steps to apply

  1. Confirm you qualify: you own and live in a Minnesota home and your household income is within the program limit (the income limit is waived for accessibility improvements).
  2. Plan your project and get itemized contractor bids or materials estimates.
  3. Use the Minnesota Housing lender directory on the Improve Your Home page to find an approved participating lender near you.
  4. Contact the lender to get pre-qualified and complete the lender's loan application.
  5. Work with the lender through underwriting and closing, then receive the funds to pay for the improvements.

Documents you will likely need

  • Proof you own and occupy the home (a deed, mortgage statement, or property tax record).
  • A government-issued photo ID for each borrower.
  • Income documentation (recent pay stubs, W-2 forms, or tax returns) to verify you are within the income limit.
  • Itemized contractor bids or materials estimates for the planned improvements.

Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules on the official program page. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.

Deadline: Ongoing through participating lenders
