Home Rehabilitation Programs

The Energy Facilities and Transportation Division is currently not accepting applications for our various programs, except for the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). This process will allow us to address the current waitlist. As additional funding become available, we will update our website accordingly.

Homeowners of certain income levels can get help to bring their homes up to local and state building codes.

The Housing Rehabilitation Program offers a forgivable loan to help low-income qualified single-family homeowners make repairs.

Repairs are prioritized to eliminate health and safety issues, correct code violations, make the home more energy-efficient and make improvements. Types of repairs include roofing, plumbing, heating and electrical.

Funding is available to homes located within specific Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Areas.

Single-Family Home Rehabilitation is another program that can help limited-income residents with home repairs. The program includes the services of a housing inspector for applicants who have received a house rehabilitation loan through Miami-Dade County’s Public Housing and Community Development.

The inspector helps identify what repairs are needed, assists with hiring a licensed contractor and ensures work is proceeding as planned. Examples of repairs include drafty windows; outdated plumbing, heating systems or wiring; weathered roofs; and worn siding. In some cases, additional assistance such as energy conservation, storm mitigation, house painting and water conservation features may be provided.
