Home Repair Programs

Home maintenance can be a formidable responsibility of homeownership. Many obstacles can get in the way of our intentions of making improvements to our homes—lack of know-how, lack of time, lack of savings, and all too frequently, not having a qualified contractor that you can trust. NHP understands that homeowners may need help with repairs and improvements. NHP also understands that well maintained homes are vital for healthy neighborhoods. Funding is limited.

Emergency Repair – Program to address serious housing problems like a leaking roof, inoperable furnace, electrical or plumbing repair; available city and county wide.

Aging in Place – Program to assist senior homeowners to make critical and immediate repairs to allow them to remain in their homes. (e.g. accessibility needs such bathroom renovation); available city and county wide.

1. 1. Low Interest Loans
