Repair Your Home

If you are elderly or have special needs and your income is low, you may be eligible for urgent repairs, comprehensive rehabilitation or accessibility modifications on your home. The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency provides financing to local government and nonprofit partners that may help you. Emergency repairs can correct housing conditions that threaten your life or safety, and accessibility modifications can help you to remain in your home after an injury or serious illness. The local organizations determine if you qualify and, if so, contract for and supervise the work.

Review your options below to learn if you are eligible and who to contact in your area.
