Multifamily Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (HRP)

HPD’s Multifamily Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program (HRP) provides low-interest loans and tax exemptions to buildings that cannot leverage private debt to finance rehabilitation work, to ensure the physical health of buildings, preserve safe affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households, and reduce building operating expenses.

Eligible Buildings

Projects will be considered for a HRP loan only if capital needs identified in the IPNA cannot be financed through other sources, including reserves, cash flow, modifications to existing HPD debt, and/or leveraging private debt.

Multiple dwellings of three or more units (including Single Room Occupancy- SROs) that cannot leverage conventional debt, including:

Multi-Family Rentals
Mitchell-Lama Developments
Housing Development Fund Corporation (HDFC) Rentals
Housing Development Fund Corporation (HDFC) Cooperatives

Program Overview

The program assesses the needs of each project and develops a long-term preservation strategy to address the projects’ financial and physical needs. HPD assistance may include residential real estate tax exemptions, below-market loans, and/or extensions or modifications of existing HPD mortgages to induce conventional financing for preservation efforts and ensure long term financial stability.
