How to Apply:
Eligibility for the Furnace Test and Tune program is based on household income. You may be automatically 
eligible if you can provide documentation showing that you qualify for one of several low-income assistance programs.
&
Emergency Repair Program: 
This emergency assistance program is offered to owner-occupied properties in participating Washtenaw Co. jurisdictions. 
Services:
Emergency repair grants or loans may be offered to pay for construction work to correct items that are determined
by the Rehabilitation Specialist to be of an immediate nature. The OCED Emergency Repair Program can currently assist eligible homeowners with urgent repairs related to furnaces, water heaters or sewer issues. Emergency grants will be limited to a one-time assistance during a five-year period regardless of whether a grant or loan was received originally. This program offers funding for urgent repairs up to $5,000 as a grant or up to $10,000 as a deferred payment loan to low-income, owner-occupied households within the jurisdictions of the Urban County. 
&

You may be eligible for these repairs: 
1. Improved access to hot and cold water in kitchen and bathroom
2. Faucets, toilet, shower/bath
3. Sewer, septic, well
4. Other critical plumbing repairs 
Call us as soon as possible to begin the application process!
&
The Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program 
Assists homeowners in many areas of Washtenaw County with needed home repairs. The Housing Rehab-
ilitation Program can provide home improvements to owner-occupied homes throughout Urban County juris-
dictions for families earning 80% or less of the area median income. Through this program, eligible work is 
assigned to an OCED-approved, licensed contractor. There is no immediate cost to the homeowner for these 
repairs, but the cost of the project will result in a 0% interest lien that will run with the property until the house 
is sold. There are no payments required until the time of sale or change in ownership. This property lien is grad-
ually forgiven over a 30-year period following the completion of the rehabilitation work. If the owner resides in 
the property for the full 30-year period, the lien will be completely forgiven and no payment will be required. Due 
to high demand for the program there is a long waiting list for services, approximately 6-12 months.
NOTE: At this time the Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Program waiting list is closed. We are not accepting 
new applications for the Single Family Housing Rehabilitation Program at this time. You should still call us if you
are experiencing an emergency situation with your furnace, water heater or sewer line.

Snow-covered sidewalks can be hazardous for everyone. The goal is to make sidewalks accessible for all ages 
and abilities. The City of Ann Arbor's Snow Match Program pairs residents with nearby neighbors who volunteer
to assist them with snow removal on their sidewalks. Recipients of the volunteer services must be City residents
55+ years of age OR self-identify as having a disability; AND do not have resources (financial such as a hired ser-vice, or family, friends, neighbor, other) nearby to assist with snow removal.
&
Along with fostering stronger community relationship and relieving some of the stress that comes from a snow-
fall or freeze, the Snow Match program aims to make our sidewalks SAFER for those who are outside during the winter including postal carriers, children/students, neighbors, and citizens using public transportation. The goal
is to match volunteers with homes within a 10-minute walk from their location.

Through this program, eligible work is assigned to an OCED-approved contractor. There is no immediate cost 
to the homeowner, but the cost of the project will result in a 0% interest lien for 5 years. There are no payments required until the time of sale or change in ownership. The property lien is forgiven after a 5-year period follow-
ing completion of the work. As long as the owner resides in the property for the full 5-year period, the lien will
