Paramus NJ home repair program helps seniors, lower-income residents
A longstanding Paramus program that helps lower-income residents repair their homes is getting a renewed push from the borough.
“It’s a good opportunity for us to help,” Mayor Chris DiPiazza said, adding that applicants to the program are typically senior citizens on fixed incomes. “It’s a good program to help people stay in town and give them tools that they need to fix their homes if they are not capable themselves.”
The Community Rehabilitation Program is run by the Paramus Affordable Housing Corp. and is supported by developers’ fees. The fund is expected to increase in the coming years
