City of Springfield Emergency and Minor Home Repair Program

How it works

The City of Springfield’s housing rehabilitation materials describe the Emergency and Minor Home Repair Program as a grant program for single-family, owner-occupied homes. The program provides assistance to cover repairs tied to one major building code violation that poses an immediate threat to the health and safety of occupants.

The official materials say the grant is up to $5,000. The same program packet also notes that applications are handled through the city’s Office of Planning and Economic Development.

What the money covers

The program examples in the official packet include:

• Repairing a red-tagged furnace
• Faulty wiring
• An actively leaking roof

The broader housing rehabilitation packet also references repairs needed to bring a property up to City Building Code standards.

Amounts and matching

• Maximum assistance: up to $5,000
• The packet excerpt does not state a matching requirement in the material reviewed here.
