Correct answer: Structural repairs including foundation work and room additions
The FHA Standard 203(k) program allows for major structural rehabilitation, including foundation repair, room additions, and significant renovation work. The FHA Limited (Streamline) 203(k) is capped at $35,000 in repair costs and does not allow structural work — it is designed for cosmetic or minor repairs. Replacing appliances, painting, carpet, flooring, and roof repair/replacement can generally be done under either program (or just the Limited version), making options A, B, and D ineligible as answers since they don't distinguish Standard-only work.
