Urgent Repair Program
When funding is available, eligible participants may qualify for the Urgent Repair Program. This program helps alleviate housing conditions which pose an imminent threat to the life or safety of very low-income homeowners with special needs. This program may provide accessibility modifications and other repairs necessary to prevent displacement of homeowners with special needs, such as frail elderly and persons with disabilities.  We can rectify deficiencies including: imminent structural system failures (e.g. porches, steps and roofs); ramps, hand rails and grab bars; kitchen and bathroom adaptations, and door alterations.
