Governor Larry Hogan’s ongoing effort to make state government more customer-oriented and user-friendly continues Thursday, Sept. 10, with the launch of Maryland WholeHome in Snow Hill.

Maryland WholeHome is a statewide initiative to help low-income homeowners pay for valuable improvements to their homes.

Representatives from DHCD’s Special Loans and Energy programs will attend the Town of Snow Hill’s Homeowners Meeting to discuss how WholeHome can assist low-income homeowners with repairs and upgrades to their homes using our low-interest loans and grants.

The meeting will be located at the Snow Hill Middle School Cafeteria on 522 Coulbourne Lane, from 6 pm to 7 pm.

​”State government is working for all of Maryland and my administration wants the more rural areas to know we have the tools to help them,” the governor said.​

Attendees will learn how our programs can be used to improve the safety, comfort and accessibility of the whole home:

  • Replace or repair roofs and porches
  • Repair plumbing and septic systems
  • Rectify structural or maintenance issues
  • Upgrade energy-efficient appliances
  • Repair or replace heating and cooling systems
  • Install energy conservation materials and insulation
  • Add accessibility features such as hand railings, ramps, grab bars and wider doorways
  • Remove lead paint hazards
  • Seal air and whole house envelope
  • Correct building code violations

WholeHome will help change Maryland for the better by providing financial assistance so homeowners can invest in affordable home improvements and save money on their monthly utility bills.

“It is our mission to ensure that homeowners are aware of the Maryland WholeHome Program so they have the opportunity to take advantage of the DHCD funding available to improve their homes,” said Tiffany Robinson, assistant secretary for DHCD.

“Most Maryland families don’t know they qualify for our programs,” added Colin Choney, program manager for the enhanced weatherization program at DHCD. “With this whole home approach, we’re providing solutions and engaging the community so everyone is aware of what we do.”

DHCD plans to take WholeHome to municipalities across the state and discuss how our programs can help homeowners improve the quality of their day-to-day lives.
