Rehab Program Description
The Township of Middle has one rehabilitation program available to residents.
The following program is offered to assist homeowners in maintaining the quality and
value of their homes, “Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program”.
This program has specific income requirements. Based upon the application our Economic
Development office will determine the eligibility. Eligible applicants will receive a loan that
will be due (with no interest or interim payments) upon sale, transfer of title, refinance or
ceases to use the property as a principal residence. At which time, the full amount will be
due to the Township of Middle. The home will be inspected by the housing inspector
chosen by the Township of Middle. Any code compliance violations will be addressed and
will be included in the rehab project. All completed projects will meet code compliance
standards.
All homes built prior to 1978 will require a lead assessment if any paint is being disturbed
during the rehab project. When required, this assessment will be performed by a Lead Risk
Assessor certified by the State of New Jersey. All lead hazards will be removed by a
certified lead contractor this will be funded by the grant.
By signing this document, I understand and will comply with the terms of the housing
rehab program.
