504 Repair Program

The "504 Repair Program" is not a senior care facility, but rather the Section 504 Home Repair program, a federal initiative administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development. The office for this program in Vinita, Oklahoma, is located at 235 W. Hope Ave. This program provides financial assistance in the form of loans and grants to very-low-income homeowners in rural areas to repair, improve, or modernize their homes. The primary goal is to remove health and safety hazards and to make homes more livable. Grants are specifically available to elderly homeowners, defined as those who are 62 years of age or older, and who are unable to repay a loan. These grants must be used to remove health and safety hazards from the home. The program is designed to help seniors and other low-income individuals maintain their independence and continue living safely in their own homes. The loans provided have a low fixed interest rate and a long repayment term. The Housing Authority of the Cherokee Nation also offers a Housing Rehabilitation Program with a preference for elderly or disabled tribal citizens, which provides major and minor repairs for qualifying Native American homeowners within the Cherokee Nation's reservation. The Section 504 program is a national program, and applications are accepted year-round through local USDA Rural Development offices. Eligibility is based on income, homeownership, and the inability to obtain affordable credit elsewhere. The property must also be located in an eligible rural area.
