The Office administers the City of Sarasota's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), City Neighborhood Stabilization Programs II and III, and functions as a cooperative effort of the City of Sarasota and Sarasota County government and serves residents throughout Sarasota County, including the cities of Sarasota, North Port and Venice, using Federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds and State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) funds.
Home Rehabilitation Program
If you own a home within Sarasota County, you may be eligible for a zero percent deferred loan to repair your home!
The Office of Housing and Community Development provides loans to income-eligible homeowners who need roof repair, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical repairs. The program generally addresses emergency health and safety issues or code violations.
Loans may be used to repair single family homes, and you (the homeowner) must live in the home and have an income at or below 80 percent of the Sarasota Median Income.
Disabled persons may be eligible for a grant to remove barriers. Example: constructing a ramp to the front door or installing grab bars in the shower.
Homeowners may register to be considered for assistance by filling out the Home Rehabilitation and Sewer Connection Registration form online.
Or, you may send in your contact information to: HomeRehabAssistance@sarasotafl.gov.
