Apply for a Home Repair Grant​

In addition to building new homes, Mitchell Regional Habitat for Humanity is committed to helping qualified homeowners maintain safe, stable, and beautiful homes through our Home Repair Program. This program focuses on exterior repairs, such as painting, siding, weatherization, and similar projects.
​How the Program Works
​
  • Partnering with Families: Habitat selects families based on income, need, and their willingness to work alongside volunteers.
  • Keeping Costs Low: We rely on volunteer labor and donated materials whenever possible to minimize costs for homeowners.
  • No-Interest Loan Option: Homeowners may qualify for a no-interest loan to cover a portion of the material costs. Payments go into a revolving fund to support future repair projects.
  • Community Support: This program is made possible thanks to the generosity of partners like Avera, the sponsor of the Home Repair Program.
​Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for the Home Repair Program, applicants must:
  • Own and live in the home where the repairs are needed.
  • Meet the region’s median income guidelines.
  • Be willing and able to work alongside volunteers, if physically capable.
  • Cooperate with Habitat staff and volunteers throughout the process.
  • Require repairs that fall within Habitat’s scope of work.
What We Can Do
Examples of repair services include:
  • Exterior painting.
  • Fixing broken windows and doors.
  • Replacing loose siding, rotting soffits, or broken fascia.
  • Removing overgrown landscaping.
  • Installing safety and accessibility upgrades, such as outdoor handrails and wheelchair ramps.
​Important Notes:
Home repair projects are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and are completed during the spring, summer, and fall, depending on funds and volunteer availability. Applicants may be subject to background check

Applicants will be selected by Committee and/or Board Review.
