If you are struggling to maintain the exterior of your home or property due to age, disability, family circumstance, or any number of other reasons, then one of the Wild Rivers Habitat Home Repair Programs might be the hand up that you need. The Home Repair Program program helps eligible-income homeowners that need a little extra help with their owned home, revitalizing the appearance of the neighborhood, strengthening connections within the community and helping to preserve affordable housing stock. Projects include exterior painting, landscaping, minor repair services, and wheelchair ramp installation.

Our Home Repair Program opportunities span Burnett, Polk, Rusk and Washburn counties and the surrounding communities in Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, Price and Taylor Counties. The Home Repair Program works in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity, enabling them to serve more families and increase opportunities for volunteers. Most importantly, the Home Repair Program is part of Habitat’s broader community development strategy called the Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (NRI).
Qualified applicants will need to provide proof of income, proof of homeownership, and complete an application. Homeowners are responsible for repayment of a no-interest loan by Habitat. The repayment amount is based upon household income. We do not make a profit on the repair; the price will simply reimburse us for our costs. Applicants must be current on mortgage payments, insurance and property taxes in addition to passing a background check. Applicants are asked to complete “sweat equity” volunteer hours to support Habitat’s mission. Examples of volunteer opportunities include volunteering at the ReStore, on home repair project sites or in the Habitat office.
By participating in our Home Repair Program, you will become part of a new movement to expand Habitat’s capacity to help those in need of a safe and decent place to live. Your light will shine brighter in your community as people see how your work serving those in need is restoring hope and dignity to their lives.
