CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Office of Housing and Community Development’s housing rehabilitation program enables eligible homeowners within the city limits of Clarksville to maintain the quality of their housing, by lowering energy bills, correcting health and safety hazards as well as code violations, and making other repairs.
If you are elderly or disabled, we can also assist you by installing accessibility ramps, grab bars and other barrier-free improvements that will make it easier for you to get around.
To qualify, you must be an owner-occupant of a home located within the city limits of Clarksville. Your property taxes and mortgage payments must be current. Grants and low interest loans are available depending on your income and individual needs.
The office is also committed to making home ownership an affordable, reachable reality for low to moderate income home-buyers. Individuals who have not owned a home in the past three years are eligible to apply for this program. Eligible persons may purchase a home within the city limits of Clarksville and may receive up to $5,000 in down payment and closing costs.
“As part of our mission statement states, our office strives to create, maintain and expand decent housing, create a suitable living environment and economic opportunities for low and moderate income persons,” said Martias Kendrick with the Clarksville Office of Housing and Community Development.
Qualifying households must meet Federal income guidelines, based on your family size.
