Home repairs continue 72 homeowners have been helped by city program By Liz McMahanAssistant City Editor “I could never have afforded it,” Collins said. “The windows were terrible. They were old and just not in good shape. The air was coming in. My garage door had just been patched and patched. They replaced it too.” Collins, like others participating in the program, will not have to pay back any of the repair costs as long as they live in the house for another five years, Garvin said. Requirements for participation • House must be in one of the targeted areas that is open. • House must be owner-occupied. • Owners must meet income guidelines, ranging from a maximum income of $23,850 for one person to $34,100 for four persons. • The outside of the property must be clean and well maintained. • The city may reject an application if the cost to repair the structure exceeds the appraised value of the house.
