About This Program

The City and County of Honolulu's Rehabilitation Loan Program provides 0% interest loans to income-qualified owner-occupants to repair homes to minimum housing quality standards. Eligible repairs include termite damage, roofing, electrical, plumbing, and accessibility modifications. Note: due to federal, state, and city regulatory requirements including Historic Preservation review, processing takes at least one year, not suitable for emergency repairs.

Interest rate is 0% for income-qualified borrowers at or below 80% AMI. Loan term and amount vary by income level and repair scope. Applications take 12+ months to process.
