About HIPP:

HIPP provides an all-inclusive repair and rehabilitation program for eligible single-family owner-occupied housing units in the City of Dallas. It is a comprehensive program with the purpose of making needed improvements and preserving affordable housing. HIPP offers two programs: Major Rehabilitation and Housing Reconstruction.

 

  • Major Rehabilitation Program: The level of assistance for the Rehabilitation Program is limited to the amount required to address the rehabilitation work scope as defined by the city. This involves a low-cost, forgivable loan to the homeowner that won’t exceed the maximum allowable funding level of $50,000.  
  • Housing Reconstruction Program: Housing Reconstruction Program provides the homeowner with a new home on their current property and assistance is provided in the form of a loan. The homeowner must certify annually the home is not for sale and is their primary residence until the loan is repaid to the city in full. This program is by referral only by city staff. 

The housing department will be answering any questions you may have about his program.
