The City of Farmington Hills is offering help to qualified homeowners who plan to winterize their houses. Zero Interest Winterization Loans may be used for home improvement projects such as adding insulation or replacing windows, roofs or furnaces.

Funding for this program is provided by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Office through the Community Development Block Grant. To qualify for the loans, applicants must have owned and occupied a home in Farmington Hills for at least one year. The family must also meet Federal income guidelines, for example, a family of four must have a gross income of less than $56,800.

Income guidelines, applications, and program details are available on the City website at fhgov.com; click on "Quick Links" and choose "Housing Rehabilitation Program". Or for more information, call Charmaine Kettler-Schmult of the Farmington Hills Community Development Office at 248-871-2543.
