   The City of Washington Court House is proud to announce that our C.H.I.P. program for 2006 is near an end. During the year  we assisted eight (8) homeowners in complete rehabilitation, thirteen (13) home repairs and twelve (12) down payment assists.

To qualify for CHIP you must meet the following criteria:

>Be the owner of a single family residence

>Have current homeowners insurance

>Meet the income guidelines for low to moderate income

>Your home must meet qualifying guidelines of disrepair

If you believe you qualify for CHIP assistance, we are re-applying for more funding and we should know near the end of September if funding will be made available to the City for 2007. If funded, we will begin the process of qualifying prospective clients for assistance in October, 2006.

We are not accepting applications at this time. However, we can place you on a waiting list. Just call 636-2346 and leave a message stating the date, time, your name, address, phone number and what type of repair you believe is needed. Please be sure to leave all the information requested as there will be no return calls made to collect missing information and you will not be placed on the waiting list.
