Home Repair Services
UCHC helps eligible homeowners make essential repairs so they can stay safely in their homes.
When you contact your counselor, describe what needs to be repaired and how it affects your ability to live safely in the home. If you have photos or a repair notice, keep them handy. Your counselor can explain the referral process and what information you’ll need.
What We Can Help Repair
We focus on repairs that affect health and safety, such as a leaking roof, unsafe wiring, broken plumbing, or a heating system that doesn’t work. The repairs we can help with depend on what your home needs and what funding is available.
If You Bought Your Home Through UCHC
If you bought your home through a UCHC program such as Make It Home or Land Contract Buyout, contact the UCHC team that helped you buy your home. They can review your eligibility and refer you to Home Repair Services.
-
Repair grants: In most cases, your UCHC Home Purchase Account must be paid in full.
-
Repair loans: Your UCHC Home Purchase Account must be paid in full or in good standing.
Referrals From DHRF and DTE
UCHC also accepts some home repair projects referred by DHRF and DTE. You can qualify through one of these referrals even if you bought your home outside of a UCHC program. You must own the home, live in it as your main residence, and meet the income requirements for the program that referred you.
How to Get Started
When you speak with your UCHC counselor or referring program, describe what needs to be repaired and how it affects your ability to live safely in your home. If you have photos or a repair notice, keep them handy.
