Home Repair Program

Is your home in desperate need of critical repairs?

Do you own your home?

Are you low-to-moderate income? (per USDA guidelines – contact us for additional details)

Is there ability to repay?

Those who may possibly qualify:

Veterans ♦ Senior Citizens ♦ Disabled

We offer home repair services to homeowners so they can continue to live in safe, decent homes for years to come. Some of our home repair work includes painting, landscaping, weatherization and minor repair services.

How does the program work?

• Families partner with Habitat based on income, need and willingness to help.
• We use volunteer labor and donated materials to keep costs low.
• An affordable loan is made to the homeowner to cover the cost of the work.

Why do we offer these exterior maintenance services?

• Families need to live in safe and well-maintained homes.
• Neighborhoods become revitalized.
• Community connections are made.
• Affordable housing inventory is preserved.

How the Program is Financed

The Habitat Handyman Program is made possible by a $100,000 grant from Salem Health and Wellness Foundation in 2016 and another $100,000 in 2017. $50,000 was also received in September 2018 to purchase 10 metal ramps for our Recyclable Ramp Program.
