Essential Single Family Rehabilitation Program
The Kerr-Tar Council of Governments (COG) has been granted membership by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA) under the 2021 cycle of the Essential-Single Family Rehabilitation Loan Pool Program (ESFRLP2021). Funding from this program will assist with essential and critical repairs to single-family homes that are owned and occupied by lower-income households.

- The home must be owner-occupied;
- Site built and off frame modular units will be eligible for considerations, however manufactured housing is not eligible for assistance;
