Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla has announced that the city has launched the Housing Improvement Program (HIP). The initiative is aimed at supporting low-to-moderate income residents in making essential repairs to their homes. The program is made possible through funding from the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund and is designed to empower eligible residents to address critical repair needs within their homes, ensuring the safety and well-being of Hoboken community members.
Qualified applicants may receive up to $24,000 in repair funding, which will be provided as a no-interest, 10-year forgivable loan. These funds can be utilized for a variety of major systems that require replacement or substantial repair, including roofs, foundations, heating, electrical, windows, insulation, plumbing, and other essential components of a home.
To be eligible for the program, applicants must be residents of Hoboken, and their total gross annual household income must fall below the income limit for their household size. Income limits are updated annually.
Current income limits:
- Hogares de uno: ingresos limitados a $67.431 al año.
- Hogares de dos: ingresos limitados a $77.064 al año.
- Hogares de tres: ingresos limitados a $86,697 al año.
- Hogares de cuatro: ingresos limitados a $96,329 al año.
- Familias de cinco: ingresos limitados a $104.036 al año.
- Hogares de seis: ingresos limitados a 111.742 dólares al año.
- Hogares de siete: ingresos limitados a $19,449 al año.
- Hogares de ocho: ingresos limitados a $127.155 por año.
Both owner-occupied and renter-occupied units may be eligible for the program if the occupants of the units are income-eligible.
“Affordable housing is the bedrock of a strong community, and the Housing Improvement Program underscores our dedication to ensuring that all residents, regardless of income, can maintain safe and secure homes,” said Mayor Bhalla. “It is imperative that we foster an inclusive community by preserving our affordable housing stock and supporting our lifelong residents and the Housing Improvement Program is a proactive step towards providing tangible assistance.”
Funds for the Housing Improvement Program are limited and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. The application process is now open, and interested individuals are encouraged to apply online athttps://hip.cgph.net/hoboken-housing-improvement-program/.
