For the year 2026, our home repair program will begin accepting repair applications beginning November 21, 2025. We must have your application, all listed documentation, and repair estimate no later than 3PM January 6, 2026. If you submit your application and all listed documentation to our agency after this date and time, you are still encouraged to apply for future home repair funding rounds.
Please read the enclosed information carefully and fully, and remember:
- You must submit all requested documentation listed below
- Your repair must be necessary for the home to remain safe and habitable. Repair estimates must be from a contractor, company, or individual who carries all proper licenses and insurance for the work they are estimating to undertake.
- Estimates must clearly communicate the description and cost of that work.
- At least 1 applicant must be listed on the Deed AND must be living in the home.
- At least 1 person in the household must be over 60 years of age or older OR must have a documentable special need (more detail here: https://ccihomes.org/home-repair-2026) AND this person must either be on the Deed or provide proof they live with the applicant.
- Turning in an application does not equal funding approval.
- Do NOT let repair work begin until you have a letter of approval from our agency.
