Dear Neighbor,
In order to insure that the Borough's lower income homeowners are able to
maintain their homes in a safe, energy efficient condition, the Borough operates a Housing
Rehabilitation Program. (See link to program pre-application form at the bottom of this
page)
The Ridgefield Borough Housing Rehabilitation Program provides up to
$20,000 for home improvements to low-income homeowners, with priority going to
single-family homeowners. The funds are provided in the form of a 0%, deferred payment
loan that is repaid only when the house is sold or title transferred. As of April 2008, we
have funding to assist 38 eligible families over the next 2 years.
Current income guidelines for the program are on the pre-application form.
Please click on the link at the bottom of this page to see the preapplication form. If you
think you are eligible for this program, please download and fill out the pre-application
form and mail or bring it into the Borough Hall. Our Ridgefield Housing Rehabilitation
Coordinator will contact you soon afterwards to let you know the status of your application
and your rank on our waiting list. Applicants will be helped on a first come, first served
basis. Feel free to call the program office at 201-943-5215 x381, for further assistance.
If you, yourself, are not eligible for this program but you have friends,
relatives or neighbors in the Borough who might be eligible, please pass this information
along to them. By helping to maintain the quality of the Borough housing stock, you will
not only be helping your neighbor, but you will also be helping to preserve everyone's
property values.
Sincerely,
