Affordable Critical Home Repairs | Keeping Families Safe in Their Homes

Habitat for Humanity’s Affordable Critical Home Repairs program ensures that families can remain in safe and healthy homes. By addressing essential repairs and modifications, we help preserve housing affordability while improving the quality of life for homeowners.

What We Do

  • Health and Safety Repairs: Fixing structural issues, repairing roofs, and addressing plumbing or electrical hazards to ensure homes are safe and livable.
  • Accessibility Modifications: Installing ramps, handrails, and other adaptations to make homes accessible for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
  • Weatherization: Improving energy efficiency through insulation, window repair, and HVAC system upgrades, reducing utility costs for families.
  • Exterior Improvements: Repairing siding, painting, and improving curb appeal to revitalize neighborhoods.

How It Works

  • Assessment: Habitat evaluates the home to determine the scope of necessary repairs.
  • Collaboration: Homeowners partner with Habitat, contributing financially or through sweat equity where possible.
  • Skilled Volunteers and Professionals: Repairs are conducted by a combination of trained volunteers and professional contractors.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Demonstrated financial need.
  • Willingness to partner with Habitat and meet program requirements.

Impact
