To help income qualified families with necessary home improvements and repairs, Broadway-Fillmore NHS (BFLNHS) provides home improvement loans and grants.  The program focuses on repairs that address health and safety issues – roof, foundation, mechanical systems, smoke and CO detectors, & weatherization.  For home improvement grants, the typical structure is 90% grant and 10% owner contribution.  The owner can use their savings, borrow from a bank, or if necessary borrow the 10% from BFNHS at 3% interest.  The loans are structured so that there is a small monthly payment.  There is a recapture period for the grant.  If you sell the property or move out during the recapture period, a portion of the grant must be repaid.
