The City of Bellevue Home Repair Program provides low- to moderate-income Bellevue homeowners with zero percent interest home loans and grants for repairs related to health and safety issues, including:
- Faulty plumbing
- Unsafe electrical wiring
- Poor heating
- Roof and gutter repairs
- Fencing and decking repair
- Siding repair and exterior painting
Types of Loans and Grants
Deferred Payment Loans
Eligible repairs include health- and safety-related improvements for homeowners who meet low-income guidelines. The city provides a no-interest loan that does not have to be paid back until the homeowner sells the home or it is transferred to a new owner.
Maximum loan amount is $35,000 for the first year and up to a lifetime maximum of $50,000 per household.
Grants
Eligible repairs for grants are restricted to health and safety hazards requiring more immediate attention and for those who do not qualify for a loan. Homeowners must meet low-income eligibility guidelines. Because this is a grant, not a loan, it does not have to be repaid. Example of repairs include:
- Sewer back-up and emergency plumbing repairs
- Hot water heater repair and/or replacement
- Furnace repair
Maximum grant award is $10,000.
Minor Home Repair Assistance

- Fixing leaking faucets and clogged drains
- Replacing broken toilets and sinks
- Replacing broken light switches
- Installing smoke detectors
- Installing locks and deadbolts
- Installing grab bars/handrails and other accessibility modifications
