Applicants also must meet income guidelines, based on family size. The income limits begin at $31,950 for a one-person household and increase to $60,200 for a family of eight.

Financial assistance will be provided through conditional grants, zero-percent deferred loans, and zero-percent direct loans, with the form of assistance determined by the household’s income.

Applicants who meet the basic eligibility guidelines will participate in an interview and preliminary inspection, so a review committee can prioritize projects.

To determine if you may be eligible for the program, or to request an application, call SENCA Housing Administrative Assistant Anita Kimpson at 402-862-2411, extension 114, or visit SENCA’s website, www.senca.org.
