Emergency Repair Program

The Emergency Repair Program is to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing for very low, low, and moderate income homeowners. This is accomplished by repairing and/or replacing any/all items in the home that are a threat to life, health, and/or safety to the homeowner.

Eligible Homeowners

Elderly (age 62 and older) and/or disabled homeowners

  1. Families with young children (under age 12)

  2. Very low-income households (at or below 30% of Area Median Income)

  3. All other eligible applicants

Total gross household income may not exceed 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). Income eligibility is determined based on the guidelines in effect at the time of application. Income thresholds are updated annually.
