(NMHC) — The Northern Marianas Housing Corporation board of directors at its April 30, 2024 meeting approved a new program to help homeowners in our community, particularly with special needs and the elderly in the CNMI.
The new program will help homeowners obtain a fully functioning bathroom that otherwise lacks a shower, toilet and sink which includes a septic tank, if public sewer is not available in the resident’s area, and/or a 1,000-gallon water reserve tank.
The specification of the bathroom with shower will be “ADA compliant” and will require it to be built in the primary residence. The water reserve tank will also be required to be built on the homeowner’s property.
As soon as NMHC irons out a few pending matters, it will be informing the general public about the official launching and acceptance of applications. This program will eventually lead to families having access to additional amenities with upgrades to their existing primary dwelling.
