Home Repair Programs

Help for Repairing or Upgrading Your Home

Over time, systems in your home can break down or reach the end of their useful lives. You may also find that a home which served you well previously needs certain accommodations to help you age in place or live independently.

There are federal, state and local programs which can assist you with these tasks by providing tax credits, loans or grants for those repairs or to increase the energy efficiency of your home.
