The purpose of the Indoor Plumbing Program (IPP) is to provide indoor plumbing in residential properties. Loans may be made for single-family, owner-occupied houses and rental properties with one to four units, which do not have indoor plumbing. Properties must be structurally sound. Owner-occupants of single-family homes and all residents of assisted rental housing must have an income at or below 80 percent of the statewide or Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Statistical Area median income. Interest rates range from 0% to 6% and are based on the applicant's ability to pay. Deferred loans are available to some borrowers who require health, safety or accessability improvements. For rental units, the project's income determines requirements for loan deferment or repayment.
