Critical Home Repair & Housing Rehabilitation Program

The City of Orem will provide qualified homeowners grant and/or loan funding up to $15,000 (based upon available funding) to repair critical damage to homes or eliminate specific and immediate hazards to health, safety, and/or sanitation. Homeowners can also replace or repair windows, electrical, plumbing, fixtures, or roofs, paint exterior or interiors, do necessary remodeling, put in ADA improvements, and do additions (based on need).  The program will be available to all homeowners (single-family, multi-family, and mobile homes) making less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (based on HUD’s yearly MSA numbers) living in the City of Orem.

Fuller Center for Housing

The Fuller Center for Housing of Utah County helps Utah County homeowners in need with necessary repairs and home revitalizations, making the homes safe and secure.  For more information, visit their website here or  click here for their brochure.

Water & Sewer Line Warranty Program

Many homeowners do not realize that they are responsible for the water and sewer lines that extend from the mainline to their home. We regularly get calls from residents who have had a break in their lateral and didn’t know it was their responsibility. These fixes can be thousands of dollars.

We worked with a private company to get the residents the lowest rates and the best coverage.

This coverage is completely optional.
