Neighborhood Rehabilitation Programs
The Prince William County Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) administers two Housing Rehabilitation Programs.
Neighborhood Housing Rehabilitation Program (NHRP)
Is designed to assist owner-occupied residents of Prince William County and Manassas park to correct health and safety issues as well as to increase energy efficiency with their properties. Total gross household income must be at or below 80 percent of the area median income income, adjusted for family size. Households with incomes at or below 50 percent of area median income will receive priority for assistance. The amount of assistance provided for rehabilitation is based upon equity of the property.
Manassas City Home Repair Program
Provides financial assistance for repairs for low and moderate-income homeowners in the City of Manassas that otherwise would not be able to maintain safe, sanitary, and accessible housing.
In order to meet the most pressing needs of the City, the Applicant must be the owner of the property and use the property as their primary residence. Applicants with extremely low-income and multiple repairs will be given priority in being selected for the financial assistance. The property must fail HUD Housing Quality Standards (HQS) to be considered eligible.
Interior Improvements: Maximum amount of assistance is $5,000 which is secured by a Deferred Deed of Trust. The amount of assistance is secured by a Deed of Trust and Promissory Note. The amount of assistance provided for rehabilitation will be secured by a Deferred Deed of Trust on the property. The Trust
will not be due and payable until the property ceases to be the principal residence, or is sold, or the borrower fails or neglects to pay the taxes, assessments, or premiums for hazard, flood (if required) or mortgage insurance, or terms of the deed of trust are violated. PWC will not agree to subordination of our current Deed of Trust to any new loan where the borrower is taking equity out of their home to include; Lines of Credit, Debt Consolidation, Home Equity, Home Improvement Loans or any other type of loan to include refinances of the existing first trust mortgage and/or second trust mortgage loan(s) that would result in cash-out for the borrower(s).
Exterior Improvements: Maximum amount of assistance is $5,000 which is a Forgivable Loan (Grant).
