Yeah if i recall the program correctly there is a program that is a city - lender partnership going on now that gives a low interest long term loan for renovation projects but they only had something like 24 takers so far idk the ins & outs of it but it may that the words haven't reached the right ears yet, maybe after the NPR program about it aired there has been increased interest.
