This program is usually a forgivable loan: you owe nothing if you stay in the home for the set period, but it may place a lien on the property until then.

Each program sets its own contractor rules. Check the official program page for exact requirements.

Your application paperwork

Documents you will likely need

  • Proof you own and live in the home (deed, recent mortgage statement, or property tax bill).
  • A government-issued photo ID for every owner on title.
  • Documentation of disability (award letter or a physician's statement) if the program is disability-based.
  • A written estimate from a licensed contractor for the work (many programs require this to apply).
  • A recent utility bill for the home (energy and weatherization programs use it to confirm service and usage).
