The Division's Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program (El Programa para la Reparación de Viviendas) serves to maintain affordable housing by enabling homeowners, experiencing major systems' failures, to remain in their homes; it also assists towns in satisfying their affordable housing obligations.
