Homeowner Repairs
If your home needs major repairs and your income is below 80% of the area median income, you may be able to get help from a local organization through our Single-Family Rehabilitation Loan Pool (SFRLP). We provide funds to local government and nonprofit agencies to facilitate the comprehensive rehabilitation of single-family homes owned and occupied by very low- and low-income homeowners with one or more elderly and/or disabled fulltime household members or with a child under the age of 6 whose health is threatened by the presence of lead-based paint hazards in the dwelling unit.
If you qualify, you could receive funds, in the form of an interest-free, deferred loan, forgiven at $3,000 per year, to pay for the necessary rehabilitation of your home. The local organization providing the loan contracts and supervises the work for you.
If you are a homeowner looking for assistance, contact a local organization that participates in the SFRLP. If you have questions about applying for assistance, please contact Amy Batel at 919-877-5689 oralbatel@nchfa.com.
If you are local government or nonprofit agency interested in applying for SFRLP funding, please contact Mike Handley at 919-877-5627 ormghandley@nchfa.com.
AARP Tax Assistance
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide offers free help for older taxpayers and people with limited incomes.
The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program is a volunteer-run, free tax-preparation and assistance service offered to low- and middle-income taxpayers with special attention to those age 60 and older. Our volunteers are trained and IRS-certified to understand individual federal-tax issues. Our volunteers provide tax assistance as a public service and cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided.
Established in 1968 with four volunteers, the AARP Foundation program has blossomed into a national program with about 35,000 volunteers, each one trained by AARP and certified by the IRS. Last year, the volunteers helped users get refunds totaling $1.2 billion and earned income tax credits totaling $233 million.
The program is one of AARP's largest service activities, with people signing up as future volunteers year-round.
