Application

What are the income limits

Below are the income limits for families, categorized by household size and income threshold at 80% of the area median income

Time Period to Apply

Open enrollment will take place from February 17 to February 21, 2024.

How do I qualify

Step One:
Submit the application to the county for weatherization or rehabilitation work to be performed on your home. You must provide proof of ownership and occupancy and be within the income limits listed above. Your property taxes must be current and not in foreclosure. You will need to provide proof of homeowner’s insurance and your home must be structurally sound and able to pass a basic inspection for habitability and safety.

See Attachment for examples of Weatherization activities vs. Rehabilitation activities.

Step Two:
All applications will be reviewed and selected applicants will be placed on a wait list during the enrollment period. Qualified applicants will be processed in the order in which they were received beginning on Feburary 17, 2025. Staff will reach out as applications are being processed to acquire proof of income and other required verifications if needed. We process applicants in small batches based on the amount of available funds.

The work to be performed on your home will be using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) government funds. The county's CDBG program allocates funds each year for these projects depending on the annual grant award received each year. As such, the amount of funds available each year will vary and may also have a cap.

Step Three:

• We will contact you to perform an inspection of the dwelling and determine what repairs are necessary.
• After the inspection, we will determine what work is approved.
• Upon approval of the work to be performed, we contact you to set a date and time to begin the work.
• After completion of the work, we check with you to make sure the work is acceptable.
• The county reimburses us for the costs of repairs and other costs associated with the delivery of the repairs with the county’s CDBG program funds.

Do I have to pay any money upfront

No. All costs are included in the final determined amount of the repairs, administrative costs, and inspection costs. Homes built prior to 1978 have the possibility of lead-based paint which requires additional costs for testing and removal of the paint.

Will the repairs cause an increase in the taxes on my home

You should direct this question to the Josephine County Assessor’s office.

How long will the repairs take to complete

The time varies depending on the type of repairs and how extensive.
