Habitat Home Repairs in
Contra Costa County
Home Repairs Made Affordable
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 Availability & Timeline: Grants for mobile homes are still open for enrollment. The Single Family Home Program is currently closed due to a lack of funding. The program will be reopened as additional funding becomes available.

Requirements
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. Single Family homeowners will first be reviewed for a loan. Grants are only available to owners of mobile homes and single-family homeowners with insufficient equity to accommodate a loan.
