Home Improvement Repair Program (HIRP)

DOWNLOAD THE H.I.R.P. APPLICATION

The Home Improvement Repair Program provides a reimbursement for costs associated with exterior repairs to owner-occupied dwellings. The program is made available through Community Development Block Grant funding from the US Department of Housing And Urban Development.  The program provides additional funding to a homeowner with qualifying income to make necessary exterior repairs or improvements to their homes. Past experience has shown that the extra funding has been just enough to allow a repair or improvement project to become a reality. The program is a win-win for Springdale and the homeowner. Maintaining and improving your property not only increases your property values, it enhances the values of the entire community.

Currently, the available amount for each application is a maximum of $3,500.00 per application/household annually. The application can now be downloaded from the link above or a copy can be picked up in the Building Department.
