A Decent Place to Live....

“Where everyone has a decent place to live.”
One phrase that carries a lot of weight.

What does it mean? Is it just a shelter over your head? Is it affordable housing? Is that it?

Absolutely not! It also includes home repairs to where a residence is, to keep it safe and sustainable for the inhabitants. One of our missions is to highlight one of the biggest challenges we ALL face as a community, affordable housing and keeping homes safe and economical for everyone living within it. We have home repair programs intended to provide funds for the rehabilitation or modification of owner-occupied, single family residential housing. Our program focuses on improvements that will reduce the long- term cost of homeownership, like energy efficiency improvements and removal of health risks.

Things we have to offer are:

Exterior work; like painting, patching, minor repair, replacement of materials for the purpose of maintenance and even landscaping.

Weatherization: This is a systematic repair process to an existing home based on a comprehensive energy audit that results in a defined scope of work.

Critical Home Repair: Which is extensive interior or exterior work performed to alleviate critical health, life and safety issues or code violations that also include a change to repair or change materials or components or a reconfiguration of space for accessibility growth; installations for extensions of plumbing, mechanical or electrical systems on existing structures.

“A decent place to live” is so much more than a roof over your head; it’s somewhere someone could thrive, a place someone can safely have their children or grandparents. Please contact us if you have questions.

Our program does require an application which would go to our Program Services Coordinator Hailey Jeter who can be reached by phone or email.
