Homeowners are invited to apply for the program and are accepted based on their household income and assessed home value.

Repair services fall under four distinct categories:
- Exterior Repairs (such as roofs and siding)
- Critical Home Repair (such as furnaces and water heaters)
- Weatherization (such as windows and insulation)
- Accessibility (such as ramps, grab bars, and bath modifications)
