The Home Repair and Accessibility Program (HRAP), administered by METEC Resource Center with support from the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission, will provide rehabilitation assistance to income-eligible households in Peoria County. The program is funded by the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) through the Illinois Affordable Housing Trust Fund and is intended to address health, safety, code compliance, and accessibility needs in eligible residential properties. Work completed under this program will prioritize repairs and improvements necessary to ensure homes are safe, functional, code-compliant, and accessible, rather than cosmetic upgrades. All work scopes will be developed on a per-property basis following a comprehensive home evaluation and will comply with applicable federal, state, and local requirements. Projects funded through HRAP may include Full Rehabilitation, Accessibility, or RoofOnly work, depending on household eligibility and property conditions. 1. Full Rehabilitation Projects - Projects intended to address health and safety issues, code violations, and necessary repairs to improve the overall condition of the home and ensure it is safe, functional, and compliant upon completion. 2. Accessibility Projects - Projects intended to address accessibility needs for households with a documented disability or mobility limitation. Work may include modifications necessary to improve safe and reasonable access to and within the home, in accordance with applicable program requirements. 3. Roof-Only Projects - Projects limited to the repair or replacement of roofing systems and related exterior components. Roof-only projects are intended for homes that do not have other significant health or safety issues requiring full rehabilitation.
