City of Kettering Home Enhancement Loan
City of Kettering Members: HELP is on the way for home improvements
HELP is on the way for Kettering, OH homeowners interested
in adding a room, remodeling a kitchen or bath, or changing
living space by knocking down a wall or converting a
garage. That's because Day Air Credit Union and the city
have partnered to begin a new program called HELP - Home
Enhancement Loan Program.

This is aprogram
that will provide homeowners -who qualify- with a home
improvement loan that's 2.5% below Day Air's standard
home improvement rate. The City of Kettering will buy
down 2% of each loan, and we'll offer an additional ½%
off the city program loans.
"Currently, we offer a great rate on our home improvement loan. Another 2.5% rate deduction is a fantastic opportunity for the members of the community and Day Air," states
Day Air's President/CEO, William Burke.
