Habitat for Humanity’s Critical Home Repair Program and Brush with Kindness Program provide urgent and major home repairs for homeowners who do not have the ability to make the improvements themselves, due to age, disability or other circumstances.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: To be eligible for any of Habitat’s programs, homeowners must own & occupy the home, property
taxes must be paid in full or homeowners must be on a repayment plan, and the owner must not be in danger of foreclosure. Required documents include owner’s most recent property tax bill, proof of homeowner’s insurance, and an income and asset verification package including the previous year’s tax return.

INCOME GUIDELINES:
Household income must be less than 80% AMI, adjusted for family size, as defined annually by HUD. Homeowners must be unable to participate in home repairs due to age, disability, or circumstance.

TYPES OF REPAIRS:
The Critical Home Repair Program does not address emergency repairs that need immediate assistance, such as broken pipes that caused flooding. Eligible repairs include fixing broken windows, sidewalk repair, landscaping, roof repair, floor repair, plumbing, electrical, & other health and safety home repairs.
NOTE: Our Critical Home Repair program is presently at capacity and we are not accepting new applications at this time. Once the program is reopened, it will be available for application for residents of the Morningside neighborhood of Detroit as well as for military veterans. If the person in question is a military Veteran he/ she may monitor the status of the program through the below page- the application will be completed through this site once available.
