The Heritage Home Program in Ward 8

As summer winds down and autumn approaches, home maintenance and weatherization projects may be on your mind.  Thanks to funding designated by Councilman Michael Polensek, the Heritage Home Program is available to houses in Ward 8 that are more than 50 years old.  For over 20 years, the Heritage Home Program has provided the owners of older homes with free advice on repair or maintenance projects and has offered a low-interest financing option to cover project costs. 

If your home is more than 50 years old, you have access to:

-  A free site visit from a Construction Specialist to discuss home repair projects

-  Help prioritizing projects

-  Assistance finding contractors

-  Impartial advice on contractor estimates

Qualified homeowners also have the option of obtaining a low-interest, fixed-rate Heritage Home Program loan, with rates as low as 1.4%!  Financing is based on bank lending requirements and available home equity.  Both owner-occupied and rental properties of 3 units or less qualify.  Most projects are eligible:

• Exterior and Interior Painting

• Kitchen and Bath Remodeling

• Roof Repair and Replacement

• Basement Waterproofing

• Window Repair

• Masonry Repair

• Insulation

• HVAC Upgrades

• And much, much more!

As always, the Heritage Home Program staff is available to assist you with your project from start to finish!
