Applications Accepted Beginning December 1

The Department of Real Estate and Housing is pleased to work with city property owners to improve their homes and neighborhoods through Homeowner Repair Program, funded through the Neighborhood Stabilization Fund.

Funding for this program will be distributed through two lotteries. The first will be held in December and the second will be held in March of 2024.

What's Eligible

Up to $10,000 is available to each income eligible applicant for a variety of home repairs that may include roof repair/replacement, HVAC repair/replacement, weatherization, window/door replacement, electric or lighting repairs, plumbing, masonry repairs, structural/safety. repairs, railing and safety issues, handicapped accessibility, exterior painting, among others.

How to Apply

Applicants must call the City’s Customer Service Center by dialing 311 to register for the program.

The City estimates that approximately 170 homeowners will be served through this program. In order to provide eligible City homeowners with an equal chance to receive funding, a random lottery process will be used. Because home repairs take time and because the City wants to avoid delays in home repairs being completed, funding will be distributed through the use of two lotteries. For the December lottery, eligible applicants must call the City’s Customer Service Center by dialing 311 between December 1 and 15 to register. On December 20, the City will select the first 85 homeowners from those who entered their name and address in the lottery.

For the second lottery in March of 2024, eligible applicants must call 311 from March 1 through 15 to register. On March 20, a second group of approximately 85 homeowners will be selected to receive funding.

Who is Eligible

To be eligible for this program homeowners must have income under 100% AMI.  The chart below shows the limits on income for the Homeowner Repair Program.
