CHEROKEE COUNTY HOME REPAIR PROGRAM

Cherokee County has limited funds available to provide loans for housing rehabilitation repairs and improvements to qualified homeowners. The funds may be used to fix dangerous health & safety problems around the house as required by current Cherokee County code standards.

  • You must be 62+ years old
  • Your family income must not be more than the maximum allowed.
  • Your mortgage can be not more than 80% of their fair market value of the home.
