Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) This program is offered through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Six Nations Housing acts as an agent for the purpose of delivering the program to our community. The program offers repairs for structurally damaged homes, and for health and safety reasons to extend the life of the home for a additional 15 year period. (NOT TO MODERNIZE A HOME) The Housing Inspector will make an initial visit to the home to assess the repairs requested by the homeowner to determine they are eligible for assistance. During this visit the Housing Inspector will list all areas that require attention. The Inspector will then complete an inspection report detailing the "mandatory" repairs only. The homeowner then has ONE month to submit all written estimates for the "mandatory" repairs. These estimates should all be within 10% of the Inspectors estimated cost of repair. Through The RRAP Program This Home Is The Recipient Of This Ramp Structure IMPORTANT INFORMATION This program is only offered to applicants whose homes are five or more years old and are owned and occupied by the applicant. RENTAL PROPERTIES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE. Households with an adjusted family income of $42,500.00 or LESS, may be eligible for up to $16,000.00 Grant (non-repayable) provided they agree to reside in the home for a period of five years or more after the repairs are made. If the household income is greater than $42,500.00 the applicant is not eligible. If an applicant requires repairs to address a specific disability, they may qualify for an additional grant of up to $16,000.00. A second application will be considered during the 15 year period for emergency repairs only. The individual will qualify for only the difference between $16,000.00 and the amount originally obtained. HOW DO I APPLY? If the applicant feels they are qualified for this program, they should contact the Housing Office to apply. Once their name reaches the top of the waiting list, they will be contacted to arrange an inspection. Once the inspection is complete, and the repairs are substantiated by the Housing Inspector the applicant will receive an inspection report detailing the required repairs. The applicant will utilize the inspection report to obtain quotes from the contractors of THEIR choice. These quotes are to be submitted to the Housing Office to be evaluated for approval. Once the quotes are approved the file will be sent to Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation for approval. Once approval received, purchase orders will be issued to proceed with the work. All mandatory work MUST be completed. If additional funds are needed to complete the MANDATORY repairs, the applicant may apply for a supplimental RRAP loan.
