Program Overview
The City has developed a Housing Rehabilitation Program with two primary purposes: 
- Increase the number of owner-occupied housing units within the south Wenatchee neighborhood
- Improve the health and safety conditions of housing for low and moderate income households
Program assistance consists of zero-interest deferred payment loans for low-moderate income owner-occupied households. Major housing rehabilitation loans (up to $25,000) are used to address health and safety issues related to International Building Code deficiencies. The goal is to identify and upgrade housing units which have significant structural, electrical, plumbing or weatherization problems. The minor home repair and home access program provides loans of up to $5,000 to cover the cost of removing architectural barriers for people with disabilities, improving access and safety, improving health conditions, providing basic maintenance and increasing energy efficiency.
Households eligible for major housing rehabilitation assistance must be located within the current target area, as indicated on the map available for download below. Households eligible for minor home repair assistance may be located anywhere within current City limits.
