Palm Beach County is launching a $4 million program Monday to help eligible low-income homeowners pay for essential repairs and improvements. The Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program can provide up to $100,000 in financial assistance per home.

The money can go toward replacing windows and doors to better withstand hurricanes, fixing code violations, addressing safety concerns and making homes more accessible.

The application portal opens at noon Monday and stays open through Nov. 27. Homeowners must attend one of the county’s virtual mandatory orientation sessions before applying. Registration for the orientation is not required, and residents can join online or by phone using the meeting number and access code the county publishes.

After applications close, the county will pick 50 homeowners through a random drawing. Residents can find eligibility requirements, required documentation and orientation details on the county’s website.
