Community Development Programs
Maintaining our neighborhoods and helping our residents are top priorities for the City of St. Peters. Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) have been instrumental in helping us achieve these goals.
CDBG funding comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the purpose of helping low- and moderate-income households. St. Peters administers CDBG funding for several programs, ranging from helping to maintain a home, buy a home, or receive rides to reach essential services.
Applications are still available on a first-come, first-accepted basis and will remain available until all openings are filled.
The St. Peters Urban County Home Improvement Loan Program provides funding for low-income homeowners with home rehabilitation projects such as new windows, furnaces, and air conditioners, roof replacement, driveway replacement or repair, and more.
Eligible applicants can receive up to $7,500 through a no-interest, five-year forgivable loan.
Please note that if anytime during the 5-year term of the loan, the resident should move or sell their home, the forgivable loan would have to be paid back.

St. Peters residents are eligible to participate in the St. Charles County 1st HOME Down Payment Loan Program.
The HOME St. Charles program is an effort by the Urban County to provide zero-interest down payment loans to income-eligible homebuyers in one of the participating jurisdictions of the St. Charles Urban County. The County will purchase subordinated second mortgage loans which finance, in conjunction with the origination of the primary loans by the Mortgage Lender, the down payment and eligible closing costs associated with acquiring qualified owner-occupied residences.
The Second Mortgage Loans are at 0% interest, due upon sale or transfer of title, and will be originated and sold to the County by approved not-for-profit housing counseling agencies. The County will provide each housing counseling agency with a program manual that will provide detailed Program Procedures, and will coordinate a training and review session with participating agencies.
