Home Repair Assistance

There is home repair assistance available to low income homeowners faced with an urgent repair.  Right now, the city of Tucson is accepting applications for their annual residential rehabilitation program.

There are two (2) components to the TARR Program. The initial $7,500 is a grant, for which repayment is NOT required! Additional funds, based on the severity of those repair items determined to be vital, may be available as a deferred loan to cover more extensive rehab work and will be available at 2% simple interest (no compounding), which is deferred until the title is transferred/property is sold or refinanced. The amount of additional available funds for the deferred loan will be determined on an individual basis by program management.

There are qualifying factors, primarily that the applicant should be a homeowner, fall within the income limits, and not have received any assistance from the Tucson housing rehab program since July 1, 2005.

The program is only accepting applications between May 15 and June 30, 2010.  All qualified applicants will be placed in a lottery pool to make the funding decision fair.
