Home Repair Services

Home Repair Services is designed to help homeowners who have received assistance through our homeownership programs with the repairs and upgrades needed to preserve the integrity of their homes. The initiative offers financial assistance for critical repairs, energy efficiency improvements, and accessibility modifications, ensuring that every home is a safe and healthy environment for families.

​

The program covers a wide range of home repair services for owner-occupants, including:

• Critical Repairs: Roofing, plumbing, electrical, structural repairs, foundation work, mold remediation, and water damage repair.

• Accessibility Modifications: Wheelchair ramps, grab bars, widened doorways, stairlifts, and other features that support mobility and safety.

• Energy Efficiency Upgrades: Insulation, weatherproofing, window replacement, and upgrades to heating, cooling, and electrical systems to reduce utility costs and improve overall home comfort.

​

The Home Repair Services program focuses on essential and functional repairs that ensure the safety, stability, and long-term health of the home. Cosmetic improvements, such as painting, flooring, or decorative upgrades, are not included.
