HOLMES COUNTY
SHIP PROGRAM

For families with low to moderate income, there are several housing assistance strategies to help with replacement or rehabilitation. ECRC coordinates the SHIP program for Holmes County.

The following strategies are available:

Moderate Housing Rehabilitation: addresses homeowner needs such as roofing, electrical, plumbing, sanitary disposal, or structural deficiencies
First Time Homebuyer Assistance: provides funds to support down payment and/or closing costs for the purchase of a home
Replacement Housing: provides funds to underwrite the costs of constructing affordable replacement homes for families living in unsafe conditions
