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.

1. Single family properties must be owner-occupied.
