The Owner-Occupied Repair Program (OORP) assists low and moderate income and/or senior homeowners in obtaining funding to do the needed exterior repairs on their homes. This is done either through low-interest, unsecured loans from National Penn Bank and/or a grant for those who need additional assistance or do not qualify for a loan.

​

Homeowners are referred to the program through churches, community agencies and friends.  The URDC Housing Coordinator meets with the homeowner to assess the work that needs to be done and reviews the homeowner's finances.  A contractor who has been pre-approved by URDC provides an estimate of the work and, if the funding is secured, completes the work in a timely manner and to the satisfaction of the homeowner.

​​
