Your application paperwork

You apply through the local HOME-funded program serving your area.
Steps to apply
- Confirm you own and occupy the home and your household income is low (HOME serves low-income households).

- Contact that local program and complete its application with your income, ownership, and the needed repairs.
- The local program inspects the home and arranges the approved rehabilitation work.
Documents you will likely need
