Home Repair Program

Our Home Repair Program provides qualifying homeowners with 0% interest loans of up to $20,000 for critical repairs that protect their homes, preserve their investment, and strengthen our community. In addition, 20% of approved projects will be funded as grants for senior citizens and individuals with disabilities who need essential home repairs.

The Home Repair Program is designed to address essential repairs–not cosmetic renovations–helping homeowners remain safely in their homes while protecting one of their greatest investments. This program may cover projects such as: roofing, plumbing and electrical issues, and windows. All work is conducted by qualified contractors hired by Habitat for Humanity of Berks County.

Together with our First-Time Home Buyer Program, the Home Repair Program allows Habitat Berks to support families at every stage of homeownership. Whether we’re helping a family purchase their first home or assisting a longtime homeowner with critical repairs, our mission remains the same: creating opportunities for safe, stable housing that transforms lives and strengthens our community.

Programa de reparación de viviendas

Nuestro Programa de Reparación de Viviendas ofrece a propietarios de viviendas que califican préstamos con 0% de interés de hasta $20,000 para realizar reparaciones críticas que protejan sus hogares, preserven su inversión y fortalezcan nuestra comunidad. Además, el 20% de los proyectos aprobados serán financiados mediante subvenciones para personas mayores y personas con discapacidades que necesiten reparaciones esenciales en sus viviendas.

El Programa de Reparación de Viviendas está diseñado para atender reparaciones esenciales, no renovaciones cosméticas, ayudando a los propietarios a permanecer de manera segura en sus hogares mientras protegen una de sus mayores inversiones. Este programa puede cubrir proyectos como: techos, problemas de plomería y electricidad, y reemplazo de ventanas. Todo el trabajo es realizado por contratistas calificados contratados por Habitat for Humanity del Condado de Berks.

Junto con nuestro Programa para Compradores de Vivienda por Primera Vez, el Programa de Reparación de Viviendas permite a Habitat Berks apoyar a las familias en cada etapa de la propiedad de una vivienda. Ya sea que estemos ayudando a una familia a comprar su primera casa o asistiendo a un propietario de larga trayectoria con reparaciones críticas, nuestra misión sigue siendo la misma: crear oportunidades para una vivienda segura y estable que transforme vidas y fortalezca nuestra comunidad.
