How to apply for 2027 Urgent Housing Repair Assistance Program (Person County)
Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments, the regional council for Franklin, Granville, Person, Vance and Warren counties.
Who it's for
Help with urgent home repairs for homeowners in Person County. Covered work can include roof repair or replacement, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, accessibility improvements, lead paint remediation, siding, doors, and other general improvements. Kerr-Tar is accepting applications now. Priority goes to older adults, people with disabilities, veterans, single parents, large families, and households with young children exposed to lead hazards. Download the application from the Kerr-Tar website and submit it with income verification, or call (252) 436-2040.
You must own the home and live in it as your primary residence, and you must meet the program's income requirements — Kerr-Tar does not publish the income limits or the maximum assistance amount online, so call (252) 436-2040 to confirm both. Mobile homes are not eligible. Older adults are a priority group but not the only one, and funding is limited.
