Home Renovations | Brookings Area Habitat for Humanity

The Home Essential Repair programs are efforts to serve low-income homeowners who struggle to maintain their homes and keep aging community members in their homes for as long as possible. This program focuses on exterior home repair services such as painting, minor exterior repairs, landscaping, weather stripping and exterior cleanup. There is also interior repair and renovation. The assistance this program offers is separate from the home build program. Qualified candidates must be able to pay and partner on the project, as they work alongside our professionals and other volunteers. Projects are completed using donated materials, and low-interest loans (if needed) so that a homeowner can live safely and independently their homes. The Home Preservation program is offered to assist homeowners who are physically unable to complete repairs on their own or may need assistance in funding repairs. This assistance allows homeowners the ability to stay in their home for further years and continue to build equity and pride in the home. The Home Preservation program has a target audience of adults aged 65 and older who require assistance to age in place.
