Do You Need Help to Rehab Your Home?
 Learn
more about the Westmoreland County Owner-Occupied Housing
Rehabilitation Program.
If you own and live in a home in Westmoreland County that has major
code deficiencies, you may qualify for a new program offered by the
Westmoreland County Department of Planning and Development in
collaboration with The Westmoreland County Housing Authority
Weatherization Program.
Who is Eligible?
Eligibility is based on where you live in Westmoreland County,
household income, and owning and living in a home that needs to be
rehabilitated. Initially, the deferred, no interest loan program
will be offered to residents of the five townships in Westmoreland
County most impacted by Marcellus Shale drilling activities,
including Derry, Hempfield, Sewickley, South Huntingdon and
Washington Townships. If there are no applications from these areas
and as additional funding becomes available, the program will be
expanded to all parts of Westmoreland County.
  
NOTE: Each
homeowner listed on the property deed must complete and sign the
Justifcats form authorizing a credit check.
Rehabilitation assistance will be targeted to homes that are code
deficient and may need a new roof, rewiring, plumbing fixtures, new
HVAC, or help with water damage.
Eligible home owners may receive assistance up to $20,000 in the
form of an interest free deferred loan over a 10 year period. The
repayment plan is prorated based on income and length of time the
home owner continues to reside in the home after it is
rehabilitated.
