Barker Road Sewer Assistance Program
Dear Homeowner,
Please review the documents on the Barker Road Sewer Assistance Program webpage and decide how you want to proceed with your application for financial assistance. The level of financial assistance is based on the household’s size and Median Family Income (MFI). This one application will be reviewed for two potential types of assistance; assessment grants for those at 50% MFI or lower, and/or connection loans for those that are 80% or lower. The current MFI income limits are listed on the application.
You have a few options:
You may follow the link on this page to submit an electronic application.
You may choose to wait until 2021 to submit an application via USPS along with the appropriate backup documentation to prove the income and assets listed. Please contact me to gain a hard copy application.
You may call me to do an application over the phone and provide backup that is needed after we determine your eligibility.
You may wait to apply (for connection loans only). If you are approved for a connection loan, you will be required to update the application and backup documentation in 2022.
CFR's will be paid in May, apply earlier 2021 for CFR Assistance. The Program ends September 30, 2022, and homeowners may apply or reapply (if circumstances or income limits change) as long as there is time to follow the process and get connected by the deadline.
If you need assistance or have questions, please contact Christy Jeffers, Program Administrator at 509.202.5830 or cjeffers@spokanecounty.org
