Glen & Geneva's House: Before & After Floor Repair Glen & Geneva Feltner - Homeowners Glen & Geneva's House: Before & After Ramp Construction Glen & Geneva's House: Before & After Bathroom Modification Glen & Geneva's House: Before & After Roof Repair "If it hadn't been for HDA, we'd have been destroyed. With our medical bills the way they are, there was no way I could pay for any repairs.

We appreciate the work and praise the Lord for it. It's taken a lot of worry away from us. These repairs will do us for the rest of our lives!

Before, we were ashamed to invite anybody in because our house looked so bad. Now, we don't care who comes in!" Nevada's House: Before & After Floor Repair HDA also replaced doors & windows in the home Nevada Brewer (homeowner) with her son, Kevin New Flooring Throughout the Home Nevada's House: Before & After Porch Accessibility Repairs "You all don't know how much you've blessed me!

When I first went to HDA, I asked for new windows, a door, and a roof. But when the staff came out and looked at it, they added a lot more to the list. The work HDA has done has saved my house.

I don't know what I would have done, because I couldn't afford it. I appreciate everything you all have done for me. At least now, as I get older, I won't have to worry about my house.

When folks out there give to HDA, they can know someone is going to get the help they need. That makes a big difference!" Home repairs can feel overwhelming – but you don’t have to navigate the process alone.

Most homeowners receive a combination of grants and low-interest loans based on income, household size, and the type of repair needed. We will explain all costs before any work begins. 2.

Do I have to own my home to qualify? Yes. The home must be owner-occupied , meaning you own the home and live in it.

We are not able to repair homes you plan to move into or homes owned by someone else. 3. What kinds of repairs can you help with?

We focus on critical health and safety repairs , accessibility improvements, and major home rehabilitations. This can include roofs, floors, plumbing, electrical issues, ramps, HVAC (through a subcontractor), and more. Cosmetic repairs are generally not eligible.

4. How long will it take to hear back after I get started? Due to high demand – especially following recent flood disasters – response and wait times are longer than usual.

After you submit the Get Started form, our staff will contact you when your request reaches the next step. We appreciate your patience. 5.

Why are there two forms? We use two forms to make the process easier and more efficient for homeowners. The Get Started form is a short first step that lets us understand your situation and determine which repair programs may be a good fit.

After reviewing that information, an HDA staff member will contact you to talk through next steps. The Home Repair Intake form is the full application and collects detailed information needed to determine eligibility and funding options. Most people begin with Get Started – our team will help you from there.

6. Does flooding affect my eligibility? We assist homeowners who were affected or impacted by flooding , whether repairs are flood-related or not.

Flood-related needs may qualify for specific funding sources, but all requests are reviewed individually. Please fill out this contact form and let us know what kind of help you need. A member of our staff will contact you ASAP.
