Low-Interest Home Repair Loans

Do you need to replace your side sewer? Do you have other overlooked repairs? The Seattle Office of Housing’s Home Repair Loan program provides low- or no-interest loans to qualified low- and moderate-income homeowners in the City of Seattle. The income limit is about $51,000 for a two-person household and $64,000 for a four-person household.

Eligible home repairs and improvements include: electrical upgrades; plumbing and/or sewer repair; structural repair; brick or masonry repair; repair or replacement of the foundation, furnace/boiler, water lines, hot water heater, roof or gutters; insulation/weatherization; and appliances, if existing ones are nonfunctional, inefficient or in very poor condition (no washers or dryers). Other repairs may qualify as well.
