In some cases, yes. There are several programs available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and state and local governments to assist with the cost of critical home repairs. These programs have specific income limitations and are intended for low or very low-income homeowners to help maintain their homes safely and prevent them from falling into disrepair. If a homeowner doesn’t qualify for these grants, there are also loans specifically designed for home repair at national and local banks.
