Barker Road Sewer Assistance Program

Dear Homeowner,

Please review the documents on this website and decide how you want to proceed with your application. The level of assistance is based on the household’s size and Median Family Income (MFI). The current MFI income limits are listed on the application. This one application will be reviewed for two potential types of assistance; assessment grants and/or connection loans.

You have a few options:

1. You may choose to wait until January 2021 to submit the application along with the appropriate backup documentation to prove the income and assets listed.

2. You may apply immediately, with no backup documents, for an initial review. The initial review will give you an idea of the level of service you may be eligible for. We must obtain backup documentation with the New Year (2021) using 2020 income documentation and an updated application if circumstances change. To avoid asking you to provide this backup multiple times we will wait until 2021 to require backup documents for the application. The assessments, at this time, are estimated to be paid to Environmental Services in March 2021. To qualify for the assessment grant, applications must be submitted prior to the due date established by Environmental Services. Households with 50% or less MFI should be sure to meet this deadline to avoid fees, which the Program cannot pay. In addition, Program funds may not be available for assessment payments after the due date established by Environmental Services.

3. You may wait to apply (for connection loans only). If you are approved for a connection loan, and do not connect in 2021, you will be required to once again update the application and backup documentation in 2022. If you know that your household is above 50% MFI and at or below 80% MFI, you may apply during 2021 or wait until 2022. 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 that date.

If you need assistance or have questions, please contact Christy Jeffers, Program Administrator at 509.202.5830 or cjeffers@spokanecounty.org
