Is home repair with us right for you?

When applying for our Habitat Metro Denver’s home repair program, applicants must be:

1. Seeking home repairs

We partner with homeowners who need critical repairs such as new roofing, siding, fencing, or other repairs to improve weatherization or safety.

2. Committed to partnership

Home repair homeowners and partners agree to work with Habitat staff and partners on the home repair process. This may include volunteer hours (also known as sweat equity).  

3. Financially ready

Homeowners must be current on their mortgage, insurance policy, and property tax payments and be able to pay a portion of the repair costs.

  • Have an adequate homeowner insurance policy.
  • Be able to pay a portion of repair costs and earn income that stays within our income guidelines (shown below).
  • Have owned and lived in their home for at least one year.
