Home Preservation Program: Wild River’s Critical Home Repair Program helps homeowners with low to moderate incomes to get the repairs and improvements they need. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The program is designed for homeowners who have experienced a life change and as a result, may find themselves unable to maintain, add or repair critical aspects of their homes. The program provides critical home repairs to prevent low-income households from being displaced from their homes and to protect the affordable housing stock in our service area. Some home repair work includes accessibility modifications (ramps), weatherization, energy efficiency, critical repairs, and exterior repair services to revitalize neighborhoods. The program does not address basic painting, replacing carpet or flooring unless for safety or accessibility reasons, window replacement unless rotted, cosmetic repairs or renovation.
