The City of Pearland is committed to maintaining healthy and vibrant neighborhoods for all residents. Instrumental in achieving this critical goal is the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
A portion of CDBG funds is used towards the City’s Home Repair Program. This program is designed to assist eligible low-moderate income Pearland homeowners that occupy their homes, for needed minor repairs to their homes.
The Home Repair Program is a federal based program through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and requires no cost from Pearland homeowners. Although the program requires no upfront cost from Pearland homeowners, a forgivable five-year lien will be placed on the property for the cost of repairs. This lien will lessen over the course of five years and will be forgiven at the end of that time.
Applicants are not required to pay back any monetary expenses for the total cost of repairs. The Home Repair Program follows many set Federal and City guidelines for applicant and property eligibility such as, Ownership, Occupancy, Income Limitations, Location and Type of Structure.
The Home Repair Program provides minor home repairs that prevent hazardous health conditions, and deterioration which include but not limited to Electrical, Plumbing, Drywall, HVAC, Roofing, Siding, Doors and Windows, etc.
Each home repair is unique to the given circumstances and can vary in length based on the application status, review of information, and scope of work. The staff member assigned to you will provide timely status updates for your specific circumstance. The general construction period usually takes 1-3 business days.
If one is a current resident of Pearland and are interested in the Home Repair Program, visit the Pearland Community Development website and complete an interest form. Contact will be made by the City’s Housing Rehabilitation Officer within 48 business hours to discuss program eligibility and next steps.
