Housing Rehabilitation
This is a federally funded loan/grant
program from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) that is administered through the City
of Mesa Housing Services Division. The funds are
used on various projects for the redevelopment and
revitalization of targeted areas of the city.
This program is funded through the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) and H.O.M.E. programs.
The purpose of the
Housing Rehabilitation Program is to improve
the livability of a home, to extend its life
for a minimum of 10 years, and to meet the
current minimum building codes, whenever
possible. Major emphasis is given
to housing problems affecting safety and
health (such as gas leaks, outdated and
hazardous electrical wiring, and plumbing).
The actual amount of repairs
needed will be determined from an inspection
and evaluation of the home. This type of
assistance can vary depending on the needs in
a home; however, not all homes can be
repaired. If the home has too many major
problems, it may not qualify for our regular
housing rehab/repair program, but we may be
able to help with emergency repair(s) for
safety reasons.
The Mesa Housing
& Revitalization is interested in working
with neighborhood associations.
If you would like a City representative to meet with your group to
explain this program, or if you would
like more information or would like to be
placed on the rehab waiting list, call
480-644-3208.
