Homeowner Rehabilitation Program
The Redevelopment Authority of the County of Fayette has successfully administered housing rehabilitation programs for
33 years, facilitating improvements to over 1,450 households since 1975. With the advent of the HOME Investment Partnership Program in 1992, the Authority began implementation of a county-wide Homeowner Rehabilitation Program in cooperation with the
eleven (11) CDBG Entitlement Townships of Bullskin, Dunbar, Georges, German, Luzerne, Menallen, North Union, Redstone, South Union,
Washington, and Wharton. In addition to HOME and CDBG funds, the Authority’s Homeowner Rehabilitation Program is also supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development Service and County Act 137 funds.
The Homeowner Rehabilitation Program assists homeowners through the provision of no interest rehabilitation loans. In order to qualify for assistance, homeowners must be considered low or moderate income as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The order in which applicants receive assistance is on a first-come, first-serve basis, therefore, persons wishing to receive assistance should contact the Redevelopment Authority to be placed on the waiting list.

Rehabilitation Brochure.
Homebuyer Development Program
The Redevelopment Authority now also offers assistance to potential first-time homebuyers through the Fayette County
Homebuyer Development Program. Designed to encourage the purchase and rehabilitation of single-family homes, the program provides homebuyer counseling services, downpayment and closing cost assistance, and a variety of permanent and subordinated mortgage products. Funding support for the program is provided by HOME, CDBG, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Pittsburgh, local Act 137 revenues, homebuyer contributions, and private-sector mortgages. Similar to the Homeowner Rehabilitation program, qualifying families must be considered low or moderate income as defined by HUD. For additional information, visit the

Development Program Brochure.
