How the program works
Homeowners complete and submit a Notice of Interest/Waitlist form. When funding becomes available in the area of residency, residents will be offered an application. Applications are processed in order of completed applications, funding priorities and program guidelines.
After application review: The homeowner will be contacted to schedule a HUD Section 8 Quality Standard Inspection at their home. Program staff will conduct the inspection and review with the homeowner the repairs that are necessary or requested by the homeowner.
Construction scope of work: After the inspection, a scope of work/bid form will be developed and given to the homeowner to acquire bids for the project. The project must be completed by an Oregon licensed, bonded and insured contractor.
Completion of Project: When the work is completed, CinA staff will do a walk through with the homeowner to be sure that all work is completed. CinA will pay the contractor when all work is completed.
