Critical Home Repair addresses the home’s safety and livability concerns. This includes structural modifications, roofing, HVAC, windows and doors, accessibility modifications (wheelchair ramps, handrails, and widening doorways, etc.). To qualify for this program, you must own and occupy the house on which the work is to be done and have that property covered by homeowners’ insurance. In cases where the home is rented, exceptions may be made with the property owner’s written permission. To qualify for reduced costs/financial help for this service, you must be low-income per the income guidelines on the right side of this page. To apply for critical home repair services, please request a home repair application, complete it, and either bring it to the Habitat for Humanity of the Northern Flint Hills offices or email it to Partner@HabitatFlintHills.org.
Home preservation helps maintain your home’s attractiveness and safety through services such as exterior painting, caulking, yard work, and trash removal. To qualify for this program, you must own and occupy the home where the work will be completed and have homeowners’ insurance for the property. Exceptions for rental properties may be considered with the property owner’s written permission. To be eligible for reduced-cost services, you must meet income guidelines. To apply, request a home preservation application, complete it, and submit it either in person at the Habitat for Humanity of the Northern Flint Hills office or via email at Partner@HabitatFlintHills.org.
Qualified homeowners will receive a grant for a portion of the repair.
The commitment that will be required of the homeowner is 10 hours of sweat equity and then a payment that is specific to their income.
