Palm Beach County Offers $4M for Home Repairs for Owners

Palm Beach County's Department of Housing and Economic Development (HED) announced $4 million in State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds are available for its Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program. The funding assists eligible homeowners with substantial home repairs. The program addresses code violations, safety hazards and accessibility needs.

Homeowners can receive up to $75,000 for improvements like hurricane-resistant windows and doors, utility connections and accessibility modifications. Applicants must meet specific income requirements based on household size. Maximum annual incomes range from $71,950 for one person to $111,050 for five people.

Properties with unpermitted work may be ineligible. Homeowners must attend a mandatory virtual orientation session before applying. Sessions can be accessed via WebEx or by phone.

The online application portal will open and close on dates to be announced. HED will provide information on the selection process after the portal closes.
