HOME REPAIR PROGRAMS

Do you need help with home repairs?

If you are struggling to maintain 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 income eligible homeowners that need a little extra help with their home, revitalizing the appearance of the neighborhood, strengthening connections within the community and helping to preserve affordable housing stock. Projects range from exterior painting, repair services, to wheelchair ramp installation. 


Please note, the Habitat Home Repair Program is not designed to provide immediate emergency fixes. While the program aims to address critical repairs, it operates on a scheduled basis, prioritizing projects based on urgency, health, safety, accessibility, and available resources. If you are in need of urgent repairs that pose an immediate threat to the health, safety, or accessibility of your home, it is recommended to seek alternative resources for emergency assistance.

Critical Home Repair Program

Applications accepted on a rolling basis

The Critical Home Repair Program helps homeowners with eligible incomes to get the repairs and improvements they need. The program is designed for homeowners who have experienced a life change and as a result, may find themselves unable to maintain or repair critical aspects of their homes. The program provides critical home repairs to prevent eligible households from being displaced from their homes and to protect the affordable housing stock in our service area. Some of our home repair work includes accessibility modifications (ramps),weatherization, energy efficiency, critical repairs, and exterior repair services to revitalize neighborhoods. The Critical Home Repair Program does not address basic painting, replacing carpet or flooring unless for safety or accessibility reasons, window replacement unless rotted, cosmetic repairs or renovations.
