The Town of Leland is considering an application for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Neighborhood Revitalization funds from the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Division (REDD) to provide rehabilitation or replacement housing assistance to lower-income homeowner households. The program is sponsored by the Town of Leland, with funds potentially provided by REDD.
The Town encourages owner-occupied households with lower incomes residing in substandard housing to contact the Town if they would like to be considered for a rehabilitation or replacement housing loan (up to 8-year term, 0% interest forgiven loan) offered through the CDBG program.
To be considered for a loan, applicants must meet the criteria outlined below:
- Occupant household income must be at or below:

- Applicants must be able to document that they are current on all taxes and obtained clear title to the property to be assisted at the time the Town considers formal applications for CDBG assistance.
- All households served must occupy a unit with severe structural deficiencies or severe water and/or sewer needs. This program is designed to address housing needs, not minor structural cosmetic improvements.
