FmHA is offering
home repair funds
If you own and live in a home
or farm, in the open country, or in
towns of up to 10,000 population
you may qualify for a loan and/or
grant if you cannot secure credit
man regular commercial lend-
ers. You must be 62 years or older
to qualify for a grant or a combi-
nation loan and grant.
All other families and indi-
viduals can apply to determine
eligibility for a loan.
Generally repair loans and
grants may be used to remove
health hazards by repairing roofs,
providing a sanitary water and
waste disposal system that meets
local health department require-
ments, installing screens, win-
dows or insulation or taking other
steps to make the home safe.
Very low income families can
receive up to $5,000 in a loan, a
combination loan and grant, or a
full grant to remove health haz-
ards. Loans up to $1,500 must be
repaid within 10 years; loans be-
tween $1^00 and $2,500 within
15 years; and loans over $2,500
within 20 years. The interest rate
is one percent.
To recieve a full grant, the
homeowner must be 62 years or
older, and unable to pay for any
repairs on the house.
Families with somewhat
higher incomes can borrow up to
$7,000 to improve their homes.
Loans can be made for up to 25
years. Interest rates are based on
each household's income and
usually will be one. two or three
percent.
Other home improvement
loans are repayable in 33 years.
These loans are made at the regu-
lar interest rate, or with interest
credits, depending upon the fam-
ily size and income.
A real estate mortage is re-
quired for loans of more than
$2,500 and in some instances may
be required for smaller loans. If
the loan is under $2300, but in-
come is small so that repaying the
loan will be difficult, someone
may co-sign the loan note with the
borrower.
Homeowners who receive a
grant or a combination loan and
grant must agree not to sell the
house on which grant funds are
used for up to three years.
The program is administered
by the Farmers Home Admini
stration.
