Types of Grants for Home Repair

Being able to secure a grant for home repairs will give you the opportunity to repair or renovate something you may have otherwise not been able to take care of. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of the various grants available for home repair.

Emergency Home Improvement Grants

An emergency home improvement grant is more commonly referred to as disaster assistance. These funds come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and are available to those who apply after a natural disaster has occurred. 

Community Care Grant

A community care grant is available to those who are already receiving some type of federal assistance or expect to be in the near future. These grants are available to those who have previously resided in an assisted living facility or an institution and are moving out on their own but just need a little extra help getting started. This same grant is also available to those who already own a home, but need a little help maintaining or repairing the home so they can continue to reside in it. 

Energy Efficiency Home Improvement Grants 

The energy efficiency home improvement grant program is available to each and every homeowner who is interested in making home repairs to decrease their energy usage. This grant money is available to anyone who applies and who has a home repair that falls within the government's guidelines. The guidelines vary from state to state, so be sure to check with your local agency for their requirements and grants available.
