Ogden City offers new and recently-remodeled homes for sale to owner-occupant buyers through its Home Sweet Ogden program. The new homes are located in Ogden's older neighborhoods, and are designed to complement the historic architecture of the area. Special financial assistance is provided.

Established in 1988, the Own in Ogden down payment assistance program has helped over 1,400 households realize the dream of home ownership. The Own in Ogden Program provides zero interest, deferred payment loans to qualified buyers who are purchasing an approved property within specifically-targeted areas of Ogden City. Own in Ogden loan amounts are determined by property location, and can be used toward the down payment and closing cost expenses associated with purchasing a residential, owner-occupied property.

Started in October 2004, the goal of Ogden City’s Good Landlord Program is to address aspects of property management that may encourage the elimination of code violations and public nuisances while controlling and preventing illegal activity on rental properties that affect the quality of life within our neighborhoods. The program provides financial incentives to landlords who actively implement the objectives of the landlord training course, keep their properties free of criminal activity, and maintain their properties free of code violations.

The Ogden City Emergency Home Repair Program assists low income households when an unexpected emergency occurs, threatening the health and safety of the household. A Spanish version of the program guidlelines is also available.

Please contact Ogden City's Community Development office for assistance with your housing needs.

Ogden's Equal Housing Opportunity

The Federal Fair Housing Act, passed in 1968 and amended in 1989, prohibits discrimination in housing practices against any person because of their race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, or familial status. These are referred to as protected classes. Utah law further prohibits discrimination in housing practices for reasons of source of income.

Fair Housing Laws make it illegal to discriminate against any person for these reasons in renting or buying housing, seeking a mortgage loan, and being shown potential housing. If you believe you have been a victim of housing discrimination, please contact the Utah Anti Discrimination and Labor Division (UALD).
