The Housing Improvement Program is
administered by the Housing &
Community Development Division of the York
County Planning Commission. It is designed
to help income eligible resident homeowners
in York County by providing financial and
technical assistance to obtain necessary home
repairs. The funds in the Home Improvement
Program are provided in the form of a loan
with a deferred payment. This means that a
mortgage in the amount of the loan is filed
against your property for security. As long as
you, the program participant, remains the
occupant and owner of the property, no
repayment is required and no interest is
charged. When the property is sold or
transferred in any way or it ceases to be your
residence, the full balance on the loan
becomes due and payable to the County of
York. The deed to your property remains in
your name and is not transferred to the
County.
To qualify, your property must have conditions
defined as substandard by the local housing
code or by the program's rehabilitation
standards. The goal of the Home Improvement
Program is to help you bring your home into
standard condition.
