The purpose of this program is to support low- and very low-income homeowners in repairing and rehabilitating their homes in rural areas. The program will allow cooperative housing complexes and rental property owners in rural areas to repair and rehabilitate their units if they agree to make such units available to very low- and low-income persons. For the purposes of this program, very low-income is defined as below 50 percent of the area median income, and low-income is defined as between 50 and 80 percent of the area median income. Funding will be provided to eligible applicants, which will then provide grants or low-interest loans to homeowners.
Rental property owners may include Section 515 and 538 rental properties if the program eligibility requirements are met. Rental property owners must agree to make the repaired or rehabilitated units available for occupancy to very low- or low-income persons for at least five years. The minimum five-year rent restriction for very low- and low-income tenants will only apply to the units repaired with the award funding.
Projects must occur in rural areas and towns with 20,000 or fewer people. Applicants may check eligible addresses online at eligibility.sc.egov.usda.gov. Alternatively, projects may be located on federally recognized tribal lands.
Funding will be allocated according to the areas specified on page 2 of the Overview file. Specifically, funding is available to help people repair homes they own or rent that were damaged by a presidentially declared disaster in calendar year 2022, as detailed on page 2 of the Overview file.
Eligible expenses include:
Repairing or replacing electrical wiring, foundations, roofs, insulation, heating systems, and water/waste disposal systems
Handicap accessibility features
Labor and materials
Limited administrative expenses

There are no specified matching requirements for this program; however, applicants are expected to coordinate and leverage funding for repair and rehabilitation activities, as well as replacement housing, with housing and community development organizations or activities operating in the same geographic area. An applicant that does not meet this expectation will not be denied an award if all other project selection criteria have been met.
Applicants that demonstrate matching contributions of at least 5 percent of the requested award amount will receive additional points in the application evaluation process. Refer to page 5 of the NOFA file for details.
