The current household income limit for the programs is now $96,500. SNG has also created a new Emergency Deferred Loan Program to assist homeowners in making emergency repairs when they don't have access to other funding. The SNG Revolving Loan Program provides loans up to $12,000 to income eligible homeowners for exterior, energy, mechanical, electrical and code improvements at 3.99%. The Interest Subsidy Grant Program reduces the interest rate on Minnesota Fix-up Fund loans from 5.99% to 3.99% on loans up to $20,000 for up to 15 years. The Minnesota Fix-up Fund can be used for most types of home improvement projects including interior remodeling and additions. The purpose of the Emergency Deferred Loan Program is to provide deferred loans to owner-occupants of properties in the Seward neighborhood who face emergency home repairs and are unable to obtain funds to repair the problem. Loans will be made to cover the cost of correcting the problem up to a maximum of $5,000. For homeowners unable to make monthly payments, the loans will be repaid when the house is sold.
