Lawrence Township Council is accepting names for its municipality sponsored home improvement program for low and moderate income residents.
Eligible home improvements include roofing, windows, vinyl siding, heating systems, insulation, plumbing and any other code violations.
According to program consultant Maureen Fullaway, eligibility is based on household size and annual income.
A household’s gross annual income cannot exceed income limits set by the state. For example, a four-person household can earn up to $74,091 and still be eligible for the program.
Mayor Jim Kownacki said the program is structured as a forgivable loan.
“There are no monthly payments and there is no interest. For single-family homes, if the owner remains in the home for ten years, the loan will be forgiven,” Mayor Kownacki said in a statement.
The program is funded through Affordable Housing Development Fees the township has previously collected.
Residents can call Fullaway at Affordable Housing Administrators at (732) 892-4292 to add their names to the wait list.
