For Qualified Homeowners
Home Repair and Modification Programs
Several local cities and counties use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and other municipal based funding sources to underwrite many of the costs associated with home repairs and modifications. Brothers Redevelopment also uses private grant based assistance program funding to work on specific needs in the community. Income-qualified homeowners living in participating areas may be eligible for assistance from our programs.
