Thank you for your patience!  The housing rehabilitation program will be up and running very soon.  For updates, please sign up at sfhousinginfo@sfgov.org

 

The Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development provides assistance to single-family home owners and to owners of multi-family properties to rehabilitate property in need of repair and/or in need of lead remediation. We offer both grants and loans for these services with each program having its own qualifying criteria. Please read through the information carefully before contacting our office for assistance.

CalHOME PROGRAM - A program to assist homeowners of one to four unit properties to address code deficiencies, health and safety hazards, deferred maintenance, meet housing standards, remediate lead-based paint hazards, and to provide accessibility modifications. Loans are for low-income homeowners who are unable to secure conventional financing.

LEAD HAZARD CONTROL PROGRAMS - Provides grants to both single family and multi-family home owners to remediate lead hazards. Priority is given to properties with children under the age of 6.
