Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Loan Program
Homeowners may receive a maximum of $25,000 for basic home improvements such as windows, siding, electrical wiring, plumbing, roofing, heating, energy-saving improvements, or improvements to meet the needs of a disabled person. The primary focus of the funds is to be used for health, safety, and weatherization issues. The loan is "deferred," meaning that it is interest-free and requires no monthly payments. It is a mortgage that will be filed on the property. Clients need to pay the loan back in full when they sell the property or refinance the property, if it ceases to be the client's primary residence, or after 30 years.
Homestead Incentive Program
To aid in the revitalization of Saint Cloud Core Neighborhoods and help counter the trend of non-owner-occupied homes. The Saint Cloud HRA will provide an incentive to qualified buyers who purchase and homestead a Saint Cloud Core Neighborhood property with a deferred loan of $3,000.
