Programs

Eligible homeowners receive home repair assistance through a 0% interest deferred payment loan. When the property is sold and/or ownership transferred, the loan becomes due and payable. If repair costs $5,000, you repay $5,000 from the proceeds of the sale.
Repair services focus on the major structural and mechanical elements of the home. The goal is to maintain an affordable home for low income families to safely live in.
Typical repairs include roof, gutters, floor, windows, HVAC, siding and soffit replacement.
Extensive repair needs may require additional funding sources such as reverse mortgage loans, additional grant funding and/or Home Repair Collaborative loans provided by Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing Partnership.

Homeowner Maintenance Workshop is designed to educate homeowners on routine maintenance needs.
Homeowner participation is mandatory for repair assistance through United North East CDC.

Volunteer Paint Program is sponsored by Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and United North East Community Development Corporation.
Homeowners receive exterior painting, minor repairs and general yard clean up of overgrown brush.
All work is completed by various volunteer groups.
