Repairs And Rehabs
Habitat for Humanity of Worcester County completes critical repairs and rehabs for existing Worcester County homeowners who are otherwise unable to complete the work themselves or obtain a conventional loan to do so. Each family must be approved during the application process, and the project itself must be approved by a Scope of Work which determines the scale of the project, Habitat's capacity to complete the work, and the homeowner's ability to pay for the work needed. Habitat may enlist the assistance of a third-party funder such as the USDA for financing options for critical repairs. In very limited circumstances, options may include a combination of loans and grants.
When inquiring during an application round, please make sure that your project would qualify under one of these programs. We are not currently in an application round.
A Brush With Kindness
We participate in the national Habitat exterior repair program, A Brush With Kindness. The Brush With Kindness Program is an exterior repair program and work can include painting, gutters, siding, porch and stair repair, landscaping, etc. General critical repairs for amounts up to $5000 are available.
When applying, please make sure the request for repairs fall within the parameters of the program. Funds are limited for these programs and at times may be unavailable. Prospective applicants will be informed when they send initial inquiry via email during each funding round, if funds are available.
