Rabies Vaccination Clinic for Dogs and Cats Planned for May 12, 2018
Health officials urge residents to keep their pets up-to-date on rabies vaccinations

BURLINGTON – The Alamance County Health Department will be hosting a rabies vaccination clinic on May 12th from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at the Environmental Health Office located at 209 N. Graham-Hopedale Road in Burlington.
The cost of the rabies shot at the clinic will be $5.00 per pet. Pet owners attending the vaccination clinic are reminded to keep dogs on leashes and cats in carriers.

“The best way to protect your pet from rabies is by vaccinating them,” states Environmental Health Director Terri Craver. “State law requires pet owners to stay up-to-date on rabies vaccinations and this clinic is one way to comply with the law at a low-cost.”
To date, there have been no confirmed cases of rabies in 2018 for Alamance County. In 2017, there were three confirmed rabies cases in the county. For more information or questions about rabies control, vaccination requirements, or upcoming clinics, contact the health department’s Environmental Health office at (336) 570-6367.

2017-2018 Owner-Occupied Rehab Loan Program

Written by Alamance Webmaster on . Posted in Announcements, Community, General News, Planning.

Applications are still available for Homeowner Rehabilitation Loans throughout the County. This program provides low interest or deferred loans to low-income homeowners who need home repairs. Low interest loan rates vary according to your ability to pay and household income, going no higher than 5%.

All clients must meet the HUD Income Limit of 80% and below the area median income, adjusted for household size. In addition, the client must own the home (no trailers unless the trailer is on a permanent foundation and the owner owns the land the trailer is on); not have any judgments or liens; and low debt-to-income ratio (other requirements are listed in the Rehab Loan brochure). The loans are for up to $30,000 depending upon the equity in the home.

If you are an interested homeowner, please visit www.burlingtonnc.gov or contact the City of Burlington at 336-222-5093 to have an application mailed.

Additional questions can be directed to Planning Director Libby Hodges at Libby.Hodges@alamance-nc.com.
