Program Guidelines
Housing Partnership of Chester County
PHFA Keystone
Renovate & Repair Loan Program
This program is designed to help households, with incomes at or below 150% of the area median income (as established by
HUD), rehabilitate and/or improve their homes. In this regard, the program provides much more than a loan - it provides peace
of mind in knowing that the right home repairs are done and completed in a timely manner with quality workmanship. The
program is intended to finance renovations to improve the basic livability of the home, as well as repairs to items affecting health,
safety, energy efficiency, accessibility, and code violations. Luxury and purely cosmetic items such as hot tubs, pools, gazebos,
etc are not permissible under the program.
For additional information and applications,
