The Fairfax County Redevelopment
and Housing Authority’s Home Improvement Loan
Program (HILP) assists Fairfax County homeowners
in making improvements to their homes. Homeowners are provided
technical assistance in determining what improvements need
to be made and financial assistance to pay for these improvements
through low interest loans.
If you qualify for this program, the HILP Rehabilitation
Specialist and Loan Officer can assist you
to:
-
Determine your eligibility for a low interest
loan
-
Determine what work needs to be done on
your home
-
Prepare work write-ups and specifications
-
Select a licensed contractor or plan your
own work
A Rehabilitation Specialist will make periodic
inspections on the progress of the project until work has
been completed.
IMPORTANT: Before construction
begins on any improvements for the home, you, the homeowner,
will enter into a written agreement with the contractor(s)
you select. You are responsible for enforcing the terms of
the contract. Neither Fairfax County nor the FCRHA bears any
responsibility or liability for defects on the work or the
performance of the contractor(s) hired. Your Rehabilitation
Specialist provides assistance in an advisory capacity only.
HILP applicants must:
-
Be the owner(s) of the property and reside
in the property, which must be located within Fairfax County
(including the Towns of Clifton, Herndon and Vienna) and
the City of Fairfax.
-
Have a household income, which falls below
the Fairfax County median income for family size.
If you should have any questions, please call 703-246-5155
(TTY: 703-385-3578).
