Home Repair Program

Get started with our Healthy Home Repairs program! Repairs include home preservation, weatherization, critical home repair, and accessibility.
Homeowners must own and occupy the home for one year for which the work is requested. Repairs are limited to residents in Kent County, Delaware whose household earns 80% or below the area median income. The repairs are at no charge to the homeowner. The type of work we approve has to be a critical need or a health/safety issue. This can include roofing, plumbing, electrical, accessibility, and more on a case-by-case basis.
