HOME PRESERVATION PROGRAM | GREATER DES MOINES HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
Offers affordable home repair services for low-income homeowners, allowing them to get work done now and pay for it later - sometimes years down the line. Homeowners are invited to apply for the program and are accepted based on their household income and assessed home value. Services may include exterior repairs (such as roofs and siding), critical home repair (such as furnaces and water heaters), weatherization (such as windows and insulation), and accessibility (such as ramps, grab bars, and bath modifications).
