Urgent Repair Program:
The City of Rocky Mount is offering up to $20,000 in funding to assist with the rehabilitation of deteriorated homes that
are owned and occupied by very low-income households. The goals of the Urgent Repair Program are:
• To alleviate housing conditions that pose an imminent threat to the life or safety of very low-income
homeowners with special needs; and
• To provide accessibility modifications and other repairs necessary to prevent displacement of very low-income
homeowners with special needs, such as the frail elderly and persons with disabilities
Eligible repairs include the flooring system, system upgrades (i.e., plumbing, electrical, and HVAC), roof repair and/or
replacement, lead, mold, or asbestos abatement, and accessibility features for entering and exiting the home.
The North Carolina Housing Trust Fund and state grant allocations fund the Urgent Repair Program. The City plans to
complete up to 20 homes.
