The Housing Rehabilitation Program, through the Grants Office of the City of Gloucester, offers deferred payment, 0% interest loans to owner-occupied properties (1 to 7 units). Funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
The Housing Rehab Program provides assistance to homeowners in need of emergency repairs, building/health code violation repairs, and/or other repairs in order to improve the safety, accessibility, and energy-efficiency of their home.
Programs & Qualifications
Owner-occupied single and multi-family properties are eligible for rehabilitation assistance.
- Single family properties must be owner-occupied.
- Property owner and/or tenant(s) MUST fall within Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Income Guidelines at the time of assistance.

In cases of demonstrated need, such as deleading, the Grants Office will provide a deferred, 0% interest loan to assist owners of investment residential rental properties under 7 units. Larger rental properties will be directed to alternative funding opportunities. Please call the office to discuss further.
