The City
of Shelton has created the Residential Rehab Program to provide financial
assistance to eligible property owners. The objective of the program is to
provide safe and decent housing for our residents through the rehabilitation
of existing structures.
The
program is designed to eliminate code violations and unsafe conditions,
increase energy efficiency, and improve the appearance of property. Code
violations (fire codes, building codes, and unsafe conditions) are attended
to first; aesthetics are attended to only if there are remaining funds. The
program is also designed to benefit low and moderate-income occupants, as
designated by State and Federal guidelines.
The
target area for the program is Citywide. The City of Shelton offers this
program as 0% interest loans to residential property owners. The maximum
lending amount is $18,000 per unit. The loan is paid back to the City over
a 10-year period, repaying 10% of the amount borrowed each year for 10
years.
All taxes
must be paid up to date prior to applying.
Funding
for this loan program is made possible to the City of Shelton by grant
funding from the State
of Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development.
The City
of Shelton Housing Rehabilitation Program application and guidelines are
available at the Community Development Office.
