Contra Costa County

Repairs

Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley has partnered with Contra Costa County’s Neighborhood Preservation Program (NPP) to offer home repair grants and loans up to $70,000 to low income homeowners. Mobile homes are only eligible for grants. Single-family homeowners may receive a grant only if they do not have sufficient equity in their home, and will otherwise be recommended for an affordable loan.

Current Program Availablity & Timeline: Due to the high volume of applications we receive year‐round for the single-family grant program, all single-family homeowners are currently being placed on a waitlist. However, grants for mobile homes are still open for enrollment.

Habitat makes repairs that directly impact a homeowner’s health, safety, and quality of life. Eligible repairs in this jurisdiction include but are not limited to:

A limited number of home repair grants are available. Repair assessments are made by Habitat staff to determine the scope of work and funding needed for a given property.

Loans will be made up to $70,000. Loans have a simple 1% interest rate and can be on either a 15 year term with monthly payments (amortized), or a 30 year term without monthly payments (deferred). Homeowners do not pay back grants. Loan type is determined by a household’s financial situation. Grants are only available to owners of mobile homes and single-family homeowners with insufficient equity to accommodate a loan.
