Housing Rehabilitation Program

The City of Statesboro encourages homeowners with lower incomes who occupy substandard housing to apply for the 2024 Housing Rehabilitation program. Interested homeowners should submit their application by August 6, 2024 to be considered for rehabilitation assistance.

In 2021, the City of Statesboro received $12,306,220.00 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The Statesboro City Council approved the allocation of $5,000,000.00 of the funds to be used to provide rehabilitation or replacement housing assistance to lower-income homeowner households in the City of Statesboro.

In order to be considered for assistance, applicants must meet the criteria outlined below:

1. Occupant household income must be at or below:

2.  All households served must occupy a unit with structural deficiencies. This program is designed to address housing needs, not minor structural cosmetic improvements. The maximum limit for rehabilitation is calculated at $70 per heated square feet.

3. All units must be located within the limits of the City of Statesboro.

4. Manufactured housing must have been converted into real property if owned and occupied by the homeowner prior to selection.
