Funds are now available to low income Citrus County homeowners for home repair

assistance through the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. Citrus County

Housing Services will be hosting an applicant intake and orientation 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on

September 18, 2013 to discuss SHIP program strategies and review the application process.

This orientation will be held at the Citrus County Resource Center Café located at 2804 W.

Marc Knighton Ct. in Lecanto.

Several program strategies including emergency home repair, home rehabilitation,

and housing replacement will be reviewed. These programs address acute emergencies such

as roof, air conditioning or drain field repair, correct serious structural and/or health and

safety related issues, and construct new homes to replace unsafe structures where rehabilita-

tion is not financially feasible. Site built homes, as well as mobile homes constructed after

June 1994, provided the home is classified as Real Property, may be eligible for assistance.

Eligible units must be both owner-occupied and the primary residence of the applicant.
