Home Repair Program

While our new home construction and rehab programs focus on helping families become first-time home buyers, our home repair program serves the needs of current non-Habitat senior, veteran, and disabled homeowners.

Habitat for Humanity North Central Georgia offers two home repair programs:

1. Critical Home Repairs for Veterans

This program serves U.S. Armed Forces Veterans who are homeowners and in need of critical home repairs and/or accessibility modifications. Critical home repairs include:

  • Safe: steps, windows, doors, locks, lighting, electric, etc.
  • Warm: furnace, weatherization, hot water heater, etc.
  • Dry: roofing, siding, plumbing, etc.
  • Accessible: ramps, ADA modifications, accessible kitchens/baths, etc.

2. Home Repair Program

This program serves older adult age 60 or older, active U.S. military and U.S. veterans, and disabled non-habitat homeowners with repair needs within our capabilities.
