Cuyahoga County has many wonderful homes that were built to last. These homes are part of our heritage and we can help you preserve them. Through the Heritage Home Loan Program, the County partners with the Cleveland Restoration Society to offer low interest loans that provide the funds you need to modernize and make energy efficiency improvements. The Heritage Home Program is available to help with access to loan programs and free technical assistance for home repair, maintenance, and rehab needs.
