A major concern of low-income homeowners is keeping up with necessary but costly repairs. This is particularly true of older homes with weathered roofs, worn siding, outdated plumbing/heating systems, drafty windows, or outdated electrical wiring. The tough choice for limited-income people thus often becomes making major house repairs or watching homes, filled with memories, deteriorate around them. The objective of the Single Family Home Rehabilitation Program is to provide oversight as Construction Manager for those  applicants who have received a house rehabilitation loan through our partner,  the Housing Finance Authority (HFA). Upon  approval by HFA, the customer is assigned a CAA  Housing Inspector who assists the client by  issuing a scope of work and aiding the homeowner in the selection of a contractor. The House Inspector then insures that the work is proceeding as planned and according to all pertinent regulations. In some cases, CAA may act as a Contractor for the rehabilitation of houses that require additional work such as Weatherization, storm mitigation, and home repairs.

Individuals interested in this program should contact HFA directly at 786-469-4703, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Only owner-occupied single family homes with low to moderate household incomes qualify for this program. The application period is open only during open registration for housing programs; check the MDHA site for availability.
