Need help with home improvements? Blue Mountain Action Council may help

WALLA WALLA—The Blue Mountain Action Council is offering a home improvement deffered loan program to rural, low income, home owners in Walla Walla, Columbia, and Garfield Counties.

Home repair options could be improvements to the foundation, roof, plumbing, electrical, siding floors, windows, gutter and downspouts and heating. BMAC also offers home weatherization services to homes which have gone through home repair.

“This is a particularly good fit for those who plan to stay in their homes long term,” said BMAC Director of Housing, Ted Koehler said. “Because payments aren’t due until the home sells, it gives people the opportunity to make needed improvements while they continue to earn income and save for future payments.”

Interested homeowners can see if they qualify by reaching out to Dianna McFetridge at BMAC by phone at: (509) 509-4980 Ext. 134, or by email at: dianam@bmacww.org.
