andlink to low interest loan program

Dear List serve participants,

 

Our community-Acton- is considering putting forth a demolition by
neglect/affirmative maintenance bylaw for consideration at town meeting.
I
was wondering if there are any communities which link this type of
regulation with a program for lending monies to homeowners to fulfill
the
requirements of such a by-law? My thought is to perhaps use a portion of
our
Community Preservation Act funds to create a low-interest loan program
which
could help homeowners who might have financial difficulties in
maintaining
their properties. Are there any examples of such a program in
Massachusetts?
