A limited number of home repair grants are available. Repair assessments are made by Habitat staff to determine the scope of work and funding needed for a given property.

Loans will be made up to $70,000. Loans have a simple 1% interest rate and can be on either a 15 year term with monthly payments (amortized), or a 30 year term without monthly payments (deferred). Homeowners do not pay back grants. Loan type is determined by a household’s financial situation. Grants are only available to owners of mobile homes and single-family homeowners with insufficient equity to accommodate a loan.
