Financial And Home Repair Assistance

Financial and Home Repair Assistance

Help may be available to individuals needing assistance in making repairs to their home to bring it into compliance with city code. The assistance may be in the form of financial; the physical completion of actual repairs; assisting with utility bills; emergency housing; or a combination of assistance. The list of agencies is not all inclusive, however, it provides a homeowner with a starting point in seeking assistance. If these agencies are not able to provide assistance, you may need to pursue other avenues to secure help (an example might be various faith based groups).
