Home Repair and Accessibility Program (HRAP)

NICAA provides Home Repair and Accessibility Program (HRAP) for single family homeowner occupied residents through the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA).  The Home Repair and Accessibility Program (HRAP) is designed to assist low- and very low-income homeowners by providing funds for vital health and safety repairs and accessibility improvements. Through these activities, the program aims to preserve existing affordable housing stock, provide investment in underserved communities, improve the health and well-being of occupants, and help low-income and disabled or mobility-impaired individuals remain in their homes. Mobile homes are not eligible for this program. We treat each rehabilitation on a case by case basis. Measures will be done based on needs identified in the home inspection/assessment. We focus on code, health, safety, and lead paint issues first. Grants are for a 2 year period.
