HIP works with community residents & associations, and local initiatives to revitalize aging communities.
The cornerstone of HIP’s revitalization efforts is the Housing Rehabilitation Assistance Program (HRAP).
Through HRAP, HIP partners with the Prince George’s County Department of Housing & Community Development and the Redevelopment Authority of Prince George’s County to provide home improvement loans of up to $60,000. This loan is 0% interest and $0 monthly payment for eligible homeowners who need to make critical code and safety repairs on homes that they occupy full time.
