Single-Family Rehabilitation (SFR) Program
The N.C. Housing Finance Agency proposes to make a total of $6.5 million available to eligible organizations for the rehabilitation of scattered-site, owner-occupied homes in selected counties under the 2012 cycle of the Single-Family Rehabilitation Program (SFR).
Under this cycle of SFR (SFR12), funds would be made available to serve homeowners in the following counties: Alamance, Ashe, Bertie, Bladen, Burke, Camden, Chatham, Currituck, Dare, Gaston, Graham, Greene, Haywood, Hoke, Hyde, Iredell, Jones, Lee, Madison, Martin, Mitchell, Montgomery, Pasquotank, Pender, Polk, Rockingham, Surry, Swain, Transylvania, Warren, Wayne, and Wilkes.
SFR funds may not be used to assist households residing within entitlement counties (Cumberland, Mecklenburg and Wake) or the 23 entitlement cities that receive funds directly from HUD (see Entitlement Cities/Counties for a list). Only applications proposing to serve an entire county, excluding entitlement areas, will be considered for funding. Household incomes cannot exceed 80% of the area median income.
It is the Agency’s intent to serve 32 to 33 additional counties each successive year, on a 3-year rotating basis (pending the continuing availability of HOME program funds). Successful applicants (one per county) will be awarded a set-aside of $160,000 for the rehabilitation of eligible units, with the option of receiving additional funds through a first-come, first-served SFR “Pool”.
The focus of the program is on financially-feasible, moderate rehabilitation. SFR funds are targeted to owner-occupied units occupied by households with elderly and/or disabled fulltime household members or owner-occupied units with lead hazards and a child 6 years old or younger. Household incomes must be below 80% of the area median income. Nonprofit organizations, local governments and regional councils of government are eligible to apply for SFR funding. Applicants must show that they have capacity to manage the program, and where two or more eligible entities apply to serve a given county, organizational capacity and experience with housing rehabilitation assistance will be deciding factors.
The Application Guidelines provide an overview of the program. Additional information on program and application requirements is contained in the Application for Funding form. The Application for Funding & Pool Membership form and Application Guidelines are available for downloading.
Completed applications for SFR12 must be received by North Carolina Housing Finance Agency by 5:00 P.M. January 27, 2012.
