<br />Is your house in need of repair?
<br />Look no further, the South Bend Home
<br />Improvement Program ( SBHIP) can help South Bend
<br />single family homeowners by providing assistance with
<br />certain approved home repairs including, roof, furnace,
<br />electrical, or plumbing. The SBHIP also helps with exterior
<br />structural repairs that will
<br />make a positive impact on the
<br />neighborhood.
<br />Applicants may be eligible for
<br />either a grant or a loan/grant
<br />combination to fund the
<br />approved repairs on their
<br />home. The first step in the eli-
<br />gibility process is to meet the total
<br />household income requirements. However, there are other
<br />eligibility factors that also apply.
<br />Applicants that are eligible for a full grant may receive up to
<br />$17,000 in repairs. If the cost of approved repairs exceeds the
<br />$17,000 grant amount, an additional $5,000 can be awarded
<br />in the form of a due - upon -sale mortgage loan which is
<br />payable when the owner sells the house, no longer resides in
<br />the home, or upon death.
