YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – Housing America Corporation is now implementing a new 504 home repair program.
The program provides loans for low income homeowners to repair, improve, or modernize the home. It also provides grants to remove any health or safety hazards from a home.
Yolanda Galindo, Executive Director of Housing America Corporation, says you can apply for the program if you meet certain requirements.
“You have to be a homeowner, the home has to be owner occupied, and live within the service area of USDA. You have to be current with all your utilities and meet the income limits for this program,” says Galindo.
Galindo adds different types of repairs can be funded.
