Home Repair Program: What to Expect

1. Check Habitat’s Program Eligibility

Potential applicants are encouraged to review Habitat’s service area and income guidelines.
Call or email us with questions.

2. Submit an Application

Complete the home repair application online, or contact us to request a paper application by mail.

Your application will be considered incomplete until all required documents are provided.

3. Application Review

Our team will check your application for completeness and eligibility. You may receive a phone call or email request for more information.

You will receive a notification every 30 days updating you on your application status.

4. Home Visit

Our team will schedule a visit to assess your home’s repair needs.

Together, we will review your repair priorities and identify the most critical health and safety issues.

5. Project Development

Our team will work with you to develop a proposed scope of work based on your home’s needs and available program resources. If your repair needs fall outside the Home Repair Program, we may refer you to another agency or resource.

Once a proposed scope of work is developed, you will receive project details and information about any applicable loan terms. Review and sign the homeowner agreement and any required loan documents.

6. Repairs Begin

Work begins and our team will be in communication throughout the project. Repairs may be completed by staff, contractors, or volunteers depending on your scope.

7. Final Walkthrough

We check the completed repairs with you and final questions or small fixes are addressed.

You’ll sign off when the project is complete.

8. Post-Repair Follow-Up

Please complete a brief survey and demographic form (optional).

Our team remains available if issues come up with your completed repair.
