What We Do

Habitat’s home repair program helps low-income homeowners struggling to maintain their homes, allowing them to reclaim their investment. The program mitigates the effects of time through home improvement projects. Habitat for Humanity provides homeowners with a zero-interest loan to cover materials costs, as well as volunteer labor to perform the home improvement project. Our home repair program helps to ensure families are living in safe and well-maintained homes.

The Process of Home Repair

Request a Home Repair Application by contacting 435.658.1400 or click here.

The home repair process typically 3 months.

  1. Application Process
    If you meet the initial program requirements, you will be asked to provide additional financial information. If you do not meet the initial requirements, based on information provided on the application, Habitat will send an email stating the reason(s) for denial and include local and state resources for repairs.
  2. Review of Application
    Your Home Repair Application will be reviewed by volunteers on our Homeowner Services Committee. Pending approval by this committee, the Programs Manager will contact with the decision of the committee.
  3. Selection of Partner Families
    If your Home Repair or Rehab Application is approved by the Board of Directors, Habitat staff will contact the Homeowner.  At this time, the homeowner is invited to begin your partnership with Habitat for Humanity and to develop a plan to complete the required sweat equity hours.

If your Home Repair or Rehab Application is not approved, Habitat will contact you and schedule a meeting of explanation and suggest how to keep your application active for future projects.
